67 year old woman had her home inundated and was left in a caravan after the 2022 Flood. She was affected again by Tropical Cyclone Alfred when it damaged the roof and window of her caravan. She has been battling through her flood recovery and has had some difficult challenges along the way. She is very engaged with community volunteering and has been helping others during a time of her own need. She is a remarkable woman who has given tirelessly. She was a victim of abuse by a neighbour and had done nothing to provoke the man but she became target and bore the brunt of verbal abuse and intimidation. She now has an AVO against the man that will be in effect for a 20 year period. Due to the extended time away from her property it has become overgrown. Before she can access the property she needs the plot to be slashed. Her plan is to retrieve her belongings and hopefully be able to place the property on the market so she can use the money to establish a new home that is safe.
