Budget Deficit Struggles Face Canberra Families During Christmas
The Smith Family supports about 170 local families including Mrs S and Mrs B facing weekly deficits from medical costs and rent. Mrs S, in a caravan with five, owes 120 to a caravan park and fears eviction while awaiting kidney treatment for her ill husband. Mrs B, with three children, owes 1300 for prenatal and postnatal care and rents government housing in Narrabundah. Donations as part of The Canberra Times Christmas appeal will fund food, clothing, and toys, with volunteers packing next week and donations to PO Box 312 Fyshwick ACT 2609 or at BP service stations.
