Young couple and new baby - flood impacted homeowners

Young couple and new baby - flood impacted homeowners. Lost everything they owned - not able to insure their house for flood.
They repaired the home themselves and were only finally granted some support by NSWRA after 3 years - being reimbursed for some of the materials (which they were very grateful for).
Unfortunately they have finally decided it is too hard for them to stay in their home where this happened with their new baby - the risk is too great.
They have to complete more repairs on the roof and guttering in order to sell but finances are tight living on a single income while Mum is home with the new baby.
They are stuck in the flood zone until they are able to complete these repairs to sell the house.
