Sal Needs Our Support

Sal Lavallee needs our support. 

Update January 21st 2020 Sal has been very very unwell and being cared for by an ENT and nursing team at Liverpool hospital. Last week she had a surgery that included a biopsy, and now...anxious wait for results. Sal is home now, pain is being managed. She is happy to be more comfortable and surrounded by her family; Chris, Snoop, Rosie, Raven and Fraidy. Your generous support is greatly appreciated. They send their love and thanks. Please continue to donate. Other ways you might consider helping is by purchasing Sal’s Art, cashless help could also include doing grocery runs or transport to ad from hospital appointments... if you know Sal personally then please get in touch. We want to coordinate a team to carry them through this.

Sal is a Ngarigo Buhlung from the Ngarigo and Yuin Nations. In 2012 she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, art and meditation gave her a way to connect to her spirituality and cope with the mental and physical stresses of cancer treatment. This inspired Sal to bring her knowledge and wisdom to others; through community workshops, palliative care, classes and courses in art therapy, meditation  and holistic counselling. 

Now Sal faces another battle. Becoming ill and suffering migraines from October 2019,  with multiple hospital admissions since December and currently in hospital recovering from an exploratory procedure  she is closer to a diagnosis and we will provide more detail when appropriate.  Sal has not been able to work and this is not likely to change anytime soon.  Her partner Chris will be by her side as much as possible and obviously this will mean time off work for him too. We all know paid leave isn’t limitless. 

We need your help, financial assistance to cover living, transport, medical and care expenses will help ease the burden on Sal and  Chris and allow them to more fully focus on Sal’s health and wellbeing. 

Every donation, no matter the amount, will go to help this Wonder Woman and her family.
