Bloody awesome idea lovey. I got pissed off again the other day reading an article in my local free newspaper about a young fella who had a dog who had bone cancer. It was a heartwhelming story for sure but this is where I got pissed off. The guy is studying vet nursing - all credit there but was able to claim his super to pay for his dogs surgery! And I'm happy he was able to access it for that I have two labs and they are a Huge part of our family, but it's obvious he met the criteria to claim as he must be on acentrelink payment of some description and has been for at least 26 weeks Some of you would of read my earlier post about me not being able to claim my super. I was pretty fucked off that he got to claim his super for his dog and I couldn't get anything to help pay the bills while I was having treatment as my husband worked his arse off through it all contributing to the young fellas centrelink payment with his tax! And he also got a go find me page set up for him too even though he had the money from his super to pay for the dogs surgery
Perhaps a loan from the govt could also be implemented to help those of us in this situation to get through and then an affordable payment plan organised when you get back on your feet?? At least people like Brenda wouldn't of had to take out bank loans etc and pay interest and struggle through this shitty disease. I looked into starting a fundraiser to try and help others in this situation but I don't have the money or resources to even get a look in. I've emailed my local member and I've read how she has advocated on behalf of people in her electorate to get a push on these Centrelink payments and she has been successful so maybe Brenda5 you can try your luck there.
