You’ve helped Aussie Battlers Richard and Kimberly find hope again

Then Kimberly suffered a spinal injury that required emergency surgery. Medical bills piled up, income vanished, and they found themselves in financial crisis. With no other option, they moved further regional, hoping to stretch what little they had.

Thanks to your kindness, families like Richard and Kimberly’s have made it through winter with warm meals on the table. Your generosity has provided not just food but hope and dignity.

“When you’ve lost so much, even being able to choose your groceries means something. It gives you back a little control and dignity. Going to Foodbank reminds us that we’re not alone – and that means everything,” Kimberly said.

Since shopping at the regional Mobile Food Hub, life has slowly started to turn a corner and some beautiful, mutually beneficial community support has started to unfold; “A couple of younger friends expecting a baby live in a caravan. They’ll rent our big front room, so they have a proper roof over their heads – and we get some income, which will help us with our financial situation,” Richard shared.

“We’ve also been blessed by a friend in town who runs a couple of shops and has started selling some of the flower stock we still have. It’s another way to earn a bit – and it gives us hope.”

Your support has helped this family through their darkest times, providing food, hope and dignity. Thank you for standing by them – and the thousands of families who need us now more than ever.
