Recently bereaved family of 5, lost their father who was main income earner to multiple myeloma
Father of 5 young children (ages 5, 7, 11, 13 and 14) recently passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the beginning of December 2023, after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July 2023.
Father previously worked as a cultural officer at a school and did not have any leave entitlements to access, He would busk with his didgeridoo to make extra money for the family so that they never went without essentials.
The family are struggling to survive off only Centrelink payments and to make ends meet and pay for necessary bills. Now that the father has passed, Centrelink payments have reduced, as well as additional earnings, and mother is very worried about how she will support her 5 young children week-to-week.
