The recent floods on the east coast have been well-publicised. However, the epicentre of the devastating damage has been in the Lismore area. Over the last 23 years, Jon Paterson has developed a successful business, only to have it all taken away by the flood. Despite his best efforts in relocating stock and equipment to a specially built mezzanine level, this flood exceeded all previous records and inundated Jon’s premises by an additional 2 meters. As a result, all stock and equipment were lost.

 

Jon is facing a $1m to cover a new fit-out of his shop and replace lost stock and equipment. Flood insurance is not available in the Lismore area.

 

Please support Jon in his re-build.
