Recipient story
Young mother and baby were rescued by CFA in a boat from a flooded home.
VIC Storms February 2024
Young mother needed to evacuate with her 6-month-old baby from their flooded home.
The house completely flooded within 10 minutes, shortly after the February storm began.
They received no notice or had any time to collect anything for themself or for the baby.
CFA rescued the young mother and her baby in a boat and she is continuing to experience extreme anxiety and stress from the incident, especially as they approach the anniversary of the event.
They were and are continuing to experience financial hardship after discovering they were underinsured for emergency accommodation for the 12-months they were away from their home as the gutted home was repaired. They needed to continue paying off a mortgage and pay for rent.
They lost all possessions, including all items for the baby.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
