Recipient story
Cyclone damage, insurance denial, and mortgage stress have left this couple in crisis—now struggling even to afford food.
2025 Tropical Cyclone Alfred
GIVIT
This couple is facing severe financial hardship that has been made worse by recent cyclone damage to their home. The storm caused significant damage to their roof, but their Body Corporate’s insurance has refused to cover repairs due to issues they claim are related to maintenance. As a result, the ceiling in their living room has collapsed, and water leaks continue to cause damage inside the home.
They are currently seeking help through a Structural Assistance Grant and are in ongoing discussions with the Body Corporate about internal repairs. Meanwhile, mortgage arrears have placed them at risk of foreclosure, with their bank now warning of potential repossession.
The stress of these challenges is immense. During a recent conversation, the woman became visibly emotional while describing their struggle to afford groceries and keep up with bills. This is a couple in urgent need of support to get through an incredibly difficult time.
