Help Skylie’s Family Give Their Beautiful Princess the Farewell She Deserves ️
Fundraising goal: $20,000
With the heaviest hearts, we share that beautiful Skylie gained her angel wings at 5:19 am, peacefully surrounded by the love of her family.
Skylie was only 12 years old.
There are no words that could ever truly describe the heartbreak her family is experiencing. Their whole world has been turned upside down, and a piece of their hearts left with their precious princess.
Skylie was the bravest and strongest little girl. She faced every challenge with incredible courage and determination. She fought so hard and taught everyone around her more about love, resilience and strength than words could ever express.
She was deeply loved, endlessly cherished and the greatest pride of her family.
Although their hearts are completely shattered, they find some comfort in knowing that Skylie is now free from pain and finally at peace.
We are hoping to raise $20,000 to support Skylie’s family during this unimaginable time. The funds raised will help cover funeral and memorial expenses, any outstanding costs associated with Skylie’s care, and give her family the time and space they need to grieve without the added pressure of financial stress.
No family should ever have to worry about money while saying goodbye to their child.
This loss feels incredibly close to home for me because Skylie also had cerebral palsy. Her courage, strength and determination have touched my heart deeply.
In honour of Skylie, I will complete the Sunshine Coast Half Marathon, a distance of 21.1 kilometres, on 2 August.
Every step and every kilometre will be dedicated to Skylie, her beautiful life and the incredible strength she showed throughout her journey.
I hope this run will help honour Skylie’s memory and bring our community together to support her family during the most heartbreaking time of their lives.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful difference. Sharing this fundraiser with your family, friends and community would also mean more than words can say.
Thank you to every person who supported Skylie throughout her journey. Your love, prayers, messages and kindness have meant more to her family than you will ever know.
Skylie, you will always be your family’s greatest love, greatest pride and greatest heartbreak. Your beautiful presence will be missed every second of every day, but you will be carried in their hearts and in everything they do.
Fly high, beautiful princess. Until we meet again.
Forever 12. Forever loved. Forever our Skylie.
5:19 am, the moment you became our angel. ️
