Storm affected family experiencing financial hardship through cancer diagnosis

Young family with 2 children under 10yrs were initially impacted by the Feb 2024 Storms wherein their home was damaged as a result of a tree falling on the house during the storm. The roof broke and the house was damaged due to an influx of water. Family are currently having to rely on mum's single income as dad who has previously been the main bread winner was diagnosed with cancer and has been receiving treatment for the last 6 months. Dad has not been able to work even part time and thus the financial pressure of paying the bills, mortgage and manage the costs of the children's education. The family have run through their savings to be able to repair their home and pay for dad's treatment now leaving them with not a lot of money to manage daily expenses. Due to the costs of treatment, they are struggling to make ends meet and would be extremely appreciative of grocery vouchers to help manage the costs to the family.
