Recovery After Devastation - Family needs urgent help restoring home safety inside and out after tropical low destruction
GIVIT
After this year's tropical low brought devastating rain, one household continues to face challenges. A single mother caring for three children and her elderly father in his 90s is trying to keep her family safe, but damage inside and outside the home is putting everyone at risk.
Severe mould forced them to discard furniture and essentials. Months later, two critical safety issues remain.
The overgrown yard has become dangerous. Despite her efforts to mow areas, their dog was bitten by a snake in dense overgrowth. Large items need discarding, trees require cutting and removal, and the yard needs professional cleanup for the children to play safely.
A damaged sliding door cannot be secured, allowing rain and moisture inside, raising mould concerns. The door creates entry points for vermin and snakes.
Lacking tools, expertise, and resources, this mother cannot tackle these repairs. Professional help is needed for yard cleanup and door repair to restore safety to this household of five
