Deb’s story<\/span>\u00a0 <\/h1> <\/div>
<\/div> <\/div> <\/section>

\u201cI was able to get enough food for a week for a very small amount of money, it was an absolute lifesaver.\u201d <\/h4>

Deb was happily running her own day care business when she fell sick and had to stop working. This changed her life instantly. <\/p>

“I couldn\u2019t recover and had to give up my full time family daycare business. I couldn\u2019t pay my mortgage and then it meant I had to sell my house\u201d<\/i> <\/p>

<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>

“If it wasn\u2019t for Foodbank, I don\u2019t know what would have happened to our family.\u201d<\/i><\/span> <\/p>

After getting help from Foodbank WA, Deb became passionate about helping others and giving back and now actively volunteers with multiple charity organisations to help others living in poverty.<\/span> <\/p>

\u201cNow I\u2019ve been helping with rainbow group for 7 years , and for the last 2 years I\u2019ve been volunteering with Street Friends. We feed up to 300 homeless in the city each week.\u201d<\/i><\/span> <\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/section>
