Financial Impact of BC on Small Business

The aftermath of a year with Cancer.  My husband and I have had the worst year ever, and financially, we are just getting by.  We had spent our savings to move to Launceston, and had great expectations of a wonderful new life full of a great "life-style" and affordable living.  The other drawcard for us, was my husbands best friend lived in Launceston too, so after saying no for 7 years, I finally said yes, and we shifted.  It took twice as long for me to find a job, and then it wasnt full time, so the saving dwindled.  We had 2 cars we were paying off, credit card debt, and then 5 months later, I got Breast Cancer.  Oh yes, I had a small insurance policy that gave me $400 a week, better than nothing.  Then just as I completed all of my treatment, my husbands best friend died.  My poor husband has found it very difficult on his basic wage to be the Knight in Shining Armour for us and as renters, with no house to have sold to increase our income, we survived via a donation of $5,000 from family.  That has now gone.  We are just getting by.  Yes I have my health back, but financially, well there is no golden goose out there for us, no magic holiday, and I guess as low income worker, no financial assistance.  As for an idea of either of us ever being sick again, we just wouldnt have the money for it!  I really understand Leonie.  (All that money raised each year, and all we get at the end of it, is hopefully, a clear health .  Oh and sorry if I dont sound grateful to be well, of course, I am).
