Recipient story
After two disasters, a mum of two faces eviction, debt, and relocation—struggling to afford the move or keep their belongings
2025 Tropical Cyclone Alfred
GIVIT
This mother of two teenage sons has faced unimaginable hardship over the years. She suffered significant losses in the 2011 floods, which contributed to the breakdown of her marriage. In recent years, she has endured a devastating tornado in 2023 and a cyclone in 2025, both of which caused further damage and disruption. The financial strain of replacing essential items after each disaster has pushed her to the brink. Now, unable to keep up with repayments, she is being evicted from her rental home. With no affordable housing options nearby, she is relocating to stay with her partner’s parents far from the boys' school and their support networks. The emotional and financial toll of this journey has been overwhelming, and the high cost of moving has left her considering leaving cherished belongings behind to save money. She is doing everything she can to protect and provide for her sons, but urgently needs support to help rebuild their lives.
