“The Gift of Friendship: A Final Visit Together”

***UPDATE 3***

We want to extend a further thank you to absolutely everyone who donated and shared for us ❤️❤️❤️ we truly can’t thank you all enough! 7news got in contact with us today and we got to tell our story ❤️❤️❤️ we are excited to get awareness out for something we spent so long battling.

We never thought heavy metal poisoning of any kind could possibly shape our lives and futures the way it has. Please be safe! Take safety gear seriously! If work practices feel unsafe, speak up! Don’t lose your life for a company that will replace you in a second.

We hope this can help anyone around the world feel less alone with their own battles.

Don’t ever lose faith in yourself and the kindness of humanity. No matter how overwhelming the world is- remember we can move mountains together. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our time might be limited together as a family. But things are far less bleak with the light you have all provided. The help facing the unknown the way we are is honestly more than we could have imagined or asked for ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you all ❤️❤️❤️

**UPDATE 2***

We can’t believe everyone’s generosity and kindness ❤️❤️❤️

Our tribunal call went as well as possible, they have told NDIS this needs to be priority given the situation and decline. Still going to be 8 weeks until we hear about the next Steph.

So we are extending our goal to try and get through this waiting time without drowning.

Nikki is still working as much as she can, but this truly isn’t much as I actually require a lot of help and care right now. Believe me, I wish I didn’t. But I’m humbly asking that we raise the goal to 18k and let her have a break from all this pressure.

She has lovingly cared for me full time for years now and spent that time advocating and arguing on my behalf. I’ve seen the toll it has taken on her and I know you all have to ❤️

There is no way to explain how hard it is to spend years caring for someone while no one can figured out why they’re slipping away from you. She deserves a break from all the pressure, the pressure of my nutrition alone is a big stress for her- my ensure and fribusin sup drinks are nearly $350 a fortnight and they’re literally keeping me alive at the moment.

All the extra money raised will go toward helping with my care ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I seriously can’t believe you have all helped me do this ❤️❤️❤️ and I know if we get this out there enough, we won’t have to spend this last chapter scraping up money for my care, we will be able to make some good memories and embrace this time ❤️❤️❤️

And I can’t thank you all enough for giving us that hope ❤️❤️❤️

Hey Everyone,

I am currently battling severe cadmium poisoning, a critical condition that has left me fighting for my health and strength every single day. My case is the highest recorded in the history of Australia, which makes this not only overwhelming but also very rare and isolating to go through.

In this difficult time, what would help me most is the presence of my best friend, “Brad Forcier, aka Breezy,” and his son Dom. Their visit would not only give me vital emotional support but also bring moments of joy, comfort, and connection during a period when I need it most.

Unfortunately, international travel is expensive, and neither they nor I can afford the costs of flights, accommodation, and the essentials for their stay in Australia. That is why I am turning to this community for help.

The funds raised will go directly toward:

• Return flights from Canada to Australia

• Accommodation and basic living costs for 1–2 weeks

• Transportation and related travel expenses

This is not just about money—it’s about creating an opportunity for love, support, and shared strength during a very fragile time in my life. Any contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to making this visit possible.

Time is critical due to my condition, and this visit would mean more than words can express. Thank you for reading, for sharing, and for supporting in any way you can. Your generosity will give me the chance to spend precious time with the people who mean the most to me. ❤️❤️❤️
