Hi Gang... we're hoping to rally the Epsicon team to raise some money to take the pressure off Mick as he navigates a tricky time in his personal life.

Mick is very private and would never ask for help, but we would like to make it easier for Mick to take time off if he needs to, as he navigates his Mother's illness.

We all know that it can be difficult to juggle living expensives as a casual employee. Taking unpaid time off work when life get tough, makes it difficult to meet financial responsibilities.

We all have our own struggles and differences, and that's okay. We don't have to be best friends to recognize a shared human experience. In this workplace, we are more than just colleagues—we are a family.

And right now, one of our family members is facing a painful challenge. Mick is facing an impossible choice: spending precious time with his mother and family, or working extra hours to keep up with his bills. It's a stress no-one should have to live with.

We would like to invite all Epsicon staff to give whatever they can to help Mick with a financial safety net as his Mum's illness progresses (you can donate anonymously - every bit will help).

Our wish is for Mick to use these funds as he sees fit, to assist in taking time off when he needs it.

Please help if you can.
