Recipient story
A friendly gesture resulted in a man losing his own home to the local flooding
2026 QLD Monsoon Floods
GIVIT
2026 Ex-Tropical Cyclone Koji
A local man rushed to his friend's property 45 minutes out of Agnes Water to help prepare for the predicted floods. Unfortunately, the creeks and waterways rose at a rate that took a lot of locals by surprise. He was trapped on the other side of the rising waters for 4 days. Unbeknownst to him, his boat; his home had taken on water from both the heavy rainfall and the tide.
By the time this man was able to get back to home, the damage to his home, and all the contents inside were beyond salvaging, including the equipment he requires to study and go about his daily life. There are a lot of repairs to be done, and no way of doing them.
This man has now been roughing it in a swag and tent that was donated to him, at his friends' property. The cost of living and fuel is adding to the challenge of rebuilding his normal life as the 45min trips between towns is an expensive one.
