Hi, my name is Tanya and I am raising money to assist my brother Brad – a pillar of strength in the Holloways Beach community. As a devoted single father and active member, Brad has tirelessly contributed to the well-being of his neighbourhood. From serving as the former president of the Parent and Citizen Committee at Machans Beach State School to spearheading fundraising efforts for community gardens, Brad embodies the spirit of generosity and compassion.

Despite facing personal challenges, including PTSD stemming from a childhood trauma, Brad has remained steadfast in his commitment to his family and community. When the pandemic struck and Brad lost his job, he didn't let adversity hold him back. Instead, he pursued higher education, graduating just last December with determination and resilience.

However, tragedy struck on December 17th, 2023, when Brad and his 8-year-old son, Flynn, were caught in devastating floods that ravaged their suburb. They lost everything – their possessions, their car, and even their home. With no insurance coverage for their belongings and a high excess on their building insurance, Brad found himself facing an overwhelming financial burden.

Now, Brad is in dire need of assistance. His car, crucial for his casual job and visiting his son, is failing due to flood damage. Despite his pride, Brad's situation is untenable without support. He needs help covering the insurance excess to begin rebuilding their home and reuniting with Flynn, who had to relocate hours away to stay with his mother temporarily.

Your contribution, no matter the size, can make a world of difference to Brad and Flynn. By lending a helping hand, you're not just providing financial assistance – you're offering hope and stability to a deserving family in need.

Please consider donating today to help Brad regain his footing and rebuild their lives. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and show Brad that he's not alone in this journey.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness.
