Please help big Zoffo get through this!!!

Hi lovely people.

I'm Jade, the eldest (and favourite ) daughter of Tony and Tanya Zofrea. Mum and dad will kill me when they see this, but I will deal with that later.

As most of you know they are very proud people who would never ask for anything from anyone, but seeing what my parents are going through, and have been for many, many months, is breaking my heart. So I am asking for help.

I haven't met alot of you, but I have heard so much about you all through mum and dad. The stories and memories they share shows me how much they love and appreciate you all, and I'm hoping you can join me in supporting them at this time.

As many of you may know, Tony has been through the ringer lately with surgeries and infections to his spine. He was flown to Perth again last night for the 3rd time in 7 weeks with a massive infection on his spine after recent surgery.

The toll the past year has taken on my mum and dad is devastating to see.

Dad has gone from the active, hard-working, social energetic man, you all know and love, to a bed bound, sick, shadow of his former self, suffering excruciating pain and sickness everyday.

Mum is on the go 24/7 taking care of everyone's needs, working full time, running around to appointments, chemists, liasing with medical staff, all whilst recently being diagnosed with her own illness. They are both exhausted.

The mental and physically toll on them has been enormous, but it's the financial one I so desperately seek your help with. Medical costs, and everyday bills have devastated them. Dad has no leave left from work, and mum can't take time off as she earns their only income at the moment.

It would mean the world to not just me, but my parents, if we could send mum to Perth for a few days to be with Dad during his next spinal operation to try and beat this infection, as well as put whatever I can towards their bills to give them some relief during this tumultuous time.

I have given as much as I can, so I am putting myself out there now to ask you all could you please help these beautiful people? They are so kind and selfless, do so much for so many others, and would never dare want anything in return.

I wouldn't be asking if they did not need this. Anything you can donate no matter how small will be so graciously appreciated, and put to where they need it most.

Like I said earlier, they will absolutely kill me when they find out about this, so if I don't survive much longer, thankyou so much in advance

Kindest regards,

Jade ✌
