2025 Tropical Cyclone Alfred
Young teenage mum, living with grandparents in accommodation that does not meet the needs of herself and her baby. She had lost many items and was forced to move from her previous place due to damages from TC Alfred. Her current place relies on solar power which cuts out by 9pm. So, no heating for herself and her young baby. This is not an ideal living situation however it is hoped that it will be temporary and that she will have her own place soon. Significant trauma history, has been subjected to some horrific abuse and is currently engaged with services to assist her in managing and processing same. She is accessing support with housing and hopes to have a home for herself and her baby soon. She is very independent and has not wanted to ask for help however has realised that she just cannot do it all. She hopes that someone may be kind enough to help her out and wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you in advance.
UPDATE: Left grandparents place and has now secured a unit to live in.
