Recipient story
Couple in their 80's lost all infrastructure including outbuildings, fencing etc in recent Longwood 2026 bushfire.
2026 Victoria Bushfires
In January 2026, a devastating disaster changed everything for a beloved couple in their 80s.
Their farm was their livelihood, pride, and independence built over decades of hard work. While their home remains with partial damage, nearly everything else is gone. Outbuildings, fencing, pasture, and essential machinery have all been destroyed, bringing their farm to a halt and resulting in a complete loss of income.
At this stage in life, rebuilding from scratch is overwhelming.
Adding to this, the husband has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, bringing further physical and emotional challenges during an already difficult time.
Despite it all, their quiet strength remains.
