Recipient story
Grandparents and grandchildren in their care have lost everything in Jan 2026 Bushfires
2026 Victoria Bushfires
Other hardship(s)
A devoted husband and wife in their 70s are the full‑time carers for their two young grandchildren, providing them with safety, stability, and love. In the devastating January 2026 bushfires, this family lost everything. Their home was completely destroyed, along with two of their cars and all of their personal belongings.
They were forced to flee with nothing but the clothes they were wearing and the children’s dog. In an instant, decades of memories and the essentials of daily life were gone.
Despite their own age and challenges, these grandparents continue to put the wellbeing of their grandchildren first, doing everything they can to keep life feeling as normal and secure as possible. They are now facing the overwhelming task of rebuilding from nothing while caring for two children who have also experienced significant trauma and loss.
Support through this donation platform will help this family meet urgent needs and begin the long journey toward recovery and stability.
