Recipient story
Client devastated after losing fencing, sheep and equipment after Longwood Fire 2026
2026 Victoria Bushfires
The client is an elderly gentleman who has been significantly impacted by the Longwood fires. As a result of this devastating event, he lost his farm sheds along with all contents, as well as extensive boundary fencing. He also suffered the loss of livestock, including sheep, and essential farming equipment such as tractors.
Unfortunately, none of these assets were insured, as the cost of fire insurance was prohibitively expensive for him. This has left him facing substantial financial strain as he attempts to recover and rebuild his livelihood.
In the aftermath of the fires, he is now dealing with ongoing and costly veterinary expenses for surviving animals, as well as the urgent need to replace damaged boundary fencing to secure his property. These additional financial pressures have compounded his situation.
The emotional impact of the event has also been considerable.
