Recipient story
Elder in the community lost all belongings due to sewerage inundating her home
2025 North & Far North QLD Floods
First Nations Support
Far North Queensland Flooding 2023
An Elder in our community has lost all due to the flooding. Sewerage and water inundated her inner city unit during the recent flooding and nothing was able to be salvaged. She and her 19 year old (who is currently studying) have been able to secure another unit. However, they are currently sleeping on the floor and counting on food assistance due to the additional costs incurred with the clean up, accommodation and moving. No more than a days food is able to be stored due to no refrigeration in this current climate.
