Thousands have been displaced by Cyclone Alfred and the associated severe weather and remain disconnected, traumatised, and grappling with how to find their way forward. Those already disadvantaged and on the margins, facing homelessness are relying on community-led emergency relief to access basic essentials. We’ve been able to plug the funding gaps for 4 grassroots organisations on the ground with $10,000 in grants, and distribute over $28,400 in material aid.
Trying to shelter from a Cyclone without a home is impossible, yet thousands of people up and down the eastern seaboard have been trying to survive in that situation. It will take weeks for the full extent of the damage to be assessed but we know that right now people are relying on local charities and community organisations to survive and provide emergency supplies, support and shelter.
We have just channeled direct funding and material aid into flood impacted communities. With a focus on supporting those already experiencing homelessness and disadvantage, funds are empowering grassroot organisations to respond to their needs.
