Recipient story
Escaped in the middle of the night from almost 2 metres of water through the entire home
2025 North & Far North QLD Floods
GIVIT
This man in his 60s was woken in the middle of the night by his faithful dog. The flood water was already just below his knees in his bedroom and rising quickly. The man and dog got themselves outside and they climbed up into the cab of an old excavator on their property. As the flood waters rose, he was considering how to get the dog onto the roof of the excavator but luckily the waters finally began to recede.
Glad to have survived but devastated to have lost everything with major damage to his uninsured home. Almost 2 metres of water had washed through, nearly reaching the ceilings in some areas of the home.
