An anonymous family of six recently asked the Burdekin community for support whilst starting over after living without a home for quite some time, sharing their story of homelessness on a local social media page.
With three children and a newborn under their care, the couple kindly asked if anyone in the community had any household furniture or appliances available for giveaway or at a low price, and the response was overwhelming.
In true Burdekin community fashion, the post received almost 100 comments where locals were offering up items of all shapes and sizes, from clothing to dining tables to help the struggling family find their footing.
Mattresses, dining suites, lounges, bedside tables, bedroom suites, slow cookers, plates, cutlery, linen, toys, children’s clothes, kettles, toasters, washing machines, and miscellaneous household items flooded the comments, along with plenty of advice from locals who had previously found themselves in similar situations.
Although in the instance of an unfortunate circumstance, many were touched to see the lengths the community would go to in support of one another, further highlighting what it means to live in such a wonderful community like the Burdekin.
