Recipient story
Victorian farmer doing it tough while the cost of hay bales continue to skyrocket.
VIC Storms February 2024
GIVIT
A 3rd generation cattle farmer is living off a very modest budget and currently experiencing a desperate financial hardship while also attempting to find inventive methods to feed his stock due to the ongoing 3-year drought. This farm has no grass nor stored hay and very little water.
The current cost of a small hay bale starts at $300, due to transport costs as Victoria runs out of hay bales supplies; they are now being transported from other states.
During the February 2024 Storm event, severe winds and heavy rain damaged the roof of his home, causing a significant water to leak, severely damaging ceiling plaster and floor coverings. The resident is unable to afford these unexpected costs to repair his home.
This farmer is living with cancer and doing his best to remain positive for his health and for those around him.
Your generosity would be greatly appreciated to help with farm hardware costs, and fuel costs.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
