In loving memory of Mia

On Boxing Day evening the unthinkable happened when Mia (9) was found unresponsive in flood waters.

Mia loved adventures and getting up to mischief, however being severely autistic this was additionally challenging for her amazing parents Ryan and Kayla.

On the evening of 26 December 2023, Mia took off over the back fence at home, just before a storm hit. She was found a few kms from home in the water unresponsive.

As this devastating news comes to the harsh light of reality, so too does the added costs Ryan and Kayla are about to take on, already being a time where everyone is stretched after Christmas.

If you are able to, I ask that you donate what you can, to help cover funeral costs, additional grief counseling and no doubt some additional time off work while they work through this devastation. Every little bit counts - I know it’s a tough time but it all adds up - even $2 when we all group together.

Thank you. Tamara (Ryan’s cousin).
