Recipient story
Elderly couple with mental health and family violence support needs, evacuated the January bushfires.
2026 Victoria Bushfires
Domestic & Family Violence
Elderly couple who continue to experience anxiety from the need to evacuate the January bushfire as they could see flames approaching the rear of the home, are struggling financially.
They were unable to return to their property due to road blocks and it being deemed unsafe to return and sustained additional and unexpected costs while away from home.
They also returned home to find that due to a power outage, all refrigerated food was spoilt, this caused a significant and additional cost to their already stretched pension budget.
Family violence support is currently being offered.
Thank you for the opportunity of support.
It is greatly appreciated.
