Ready to Learn
Resident with 3 children, stated that the ‘storm event was frightening ‘The kids were scared, and the roof just blew off the shed.' The family evacuated and the children experience ongoing anxiety and fear around weather events Resident receives a disability pension. Her partner is unemployed and diagnosed with depression which has been impacted by the storm event. Since the event they have struggled to recover financially with their freezer breaking soon before Xmas. Return to school for the children was a considerable stress for the family who have since experienced higher energy costs and major car repairs. Pharmacy vouchers would enable the family to purchase expensive medical supplements which are needed to maintain mother and children's health. This would also free finances to ensure they can maintain their vehicle, which is essential for travel to specialist appointments (speech therapy, psychology, diabetes) as the family live remotely from services and support.
