Fuel voucher - $50

Mum of 5, diagnosed with breast cancer & has started treatment. Fuel costs travelling to & from is just another stressor.

Mother of 5 thought she had life all under control. Recently moving into a new rental property with her partner and children, both she and her partner also volunteered to give back to their community.

A month ago life changed overnight for their family. The 37-year-old mum found a lump in her breast and after investigations was diagnosed with breast cancer. Treatment has since started to reduce the size of the lump before surgery. As treatment has been taking its toll on the mum, the dad has been stepping in to care for her and the children, and driving to and from each treatment session.

With this, he has not been able to continue working full time and she has had to take a lot of time off work with only limited available sick leave and the entire family's mental health has been affected. They have put in for assistance through Centrelink so they are able to cover rent and school costs however the pressure of the additional fuel expenses is putting them in financial hardship.
