Recipient story
Elderly gentleman living alone on old age pension. Severe financial hardship exacerbated by Storm event.
GIVIT
VIC Storms February 2024
Resident experienced significant financial hardship due to storm power outage and subsequent food spoilage. He did not have a place to evacuate to during the power outage nor supports to assist him with managing daily living without power. This was a difficult and lonely time for the resident. His home is located in an area which experiences frequent power outages, and it is a source of distress to him that he may face a future similar event. He would love to purchase a portable generator which would allow him to have a safety plan for future disasters . He experiences financial hardship only just managing to pay bills and rates. Having a home generator would give him great peace of mind. Recently he has been unable to pay for his car registration thus unable to travel to medical appointments. He has managed to save some funding toward this but receiving some grocery vouchers would free some finances to register his vehicle and schedule some much needed health appointments.to the
