<div>Julie is a loving wife, devoted cat mom, and the heart behind Auntie Julie the Catsitter, where she has spent the last decade caring for hundreds of cats and the people who love them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Monday, July 27, our lives changed in an instant. Julie suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm at home and collapsed in front of her husband, Steve. Thanks to his quick thinking and immediate call to 911, she was rushed to the hospital, where doctors performed emergency brain surgery to coil the ruptured aneurysm and save her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Julie is now facing a long and difficult recovery in the Neuroscience ICU. She is expected to remain there for at least 21 days because the days following a ruptured aneurysm are the most dangerous. During this time, she is on strict bed rest and is monitored around the clock for life-threatening complications, including cerebral vasospasm, which can cause another stroke. Every hour, day and night, the medical team performs neurological checks to make sure any changes are caught immediately.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While we are incredibly grateful that Julie survived, her recovery is only beginning. She will be on medical leave throughout August, and it is still unknown how long rehabilitation and healing will take after she leaves the hospital.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a self-employed professional catsitter, Julie doesn’t have paid sick leave or disability benefits. Being unable to work means the income she relies on to cover her mortgage, medical bills, and everyday living expenses has stopped overnight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to help, any donation, no matter the amount, will ease the financial burden and allow Julie to focus on what matters most: healing. If you’re not in a position to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, support, prayers, and encouragement during the most difficult time of our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After the aneurysm, Julie was admitted to the Neuro surgical ICU, where she will spend 21 days under constant monitoring to ensure she does not suffer further complications. This unexpected medical crisis has forced Julie to miss an entire month of work, leaving her without income and facing mounting medical bills and everyday expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The love and support that has been shown to Julie over the past week has been absolutely incredible. She is deeply grateful for all the prayers and kindness. Any help during this difficult time will go directly toward medical bills, living expenses, and the costs of daily life while Julie focuses on healing. Thank you for considering a donation to support Julie and her family.

Support Julie’s Recovery After Brain Aneurysm

<div>Help Us Give Zeus the Second Chance He Deserve
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We never imagined we’d be here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What started as surgery to remove a cancerous mast cell tumour has turned into one setback after another.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite doing everything we could, Zeus managed to lick his wound and overexert himself while healing. The surgical site has now reopened, become infected, and the skin isn’t healing as it should. We’re now facing regular sedation, wound cleaning, bandage changes every few days, ongoing medication, and potentially specialist treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s heartbreaking to watch.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Zeus finally found a family after almost ten years of life. Then, just months after adopting him, we discovered he had cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Giving up has never been an option.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>SO….
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We are now raising funds for:</strong>
</div>
<div>-Hospital Day
</div>
<div>-Sedation
</div>
<div>-Deep &amp; Reversal
</div>
<div>-Wound Cleaning
</div>
<div>-Preanaesthetic Exam
</div>
<div>-Anaesthesia
</div>
<div>-Bandage Application
</div>
<div>-Medication
</div>
<div>-AFTER hours care
</div>
<div>-Taz off work
</div>
<ul>
<li>fuel to &amp; from Busselton every 2-3 days
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The reality is that this is what rescue can look like.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Senior Dogs with ongoing health conditions are often the ones overlooked. Their adoption fees can be only a few hundred dollars, but many people understandably worry about the cost of future veterinary care, behavioural support, and the emotional commitment that may come with adopting an older Dog.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rescue organisations are already under enormous financial pressure, making heartbreaking decisions every day because there simply aren’t enough homes, enough funding, or enough resources.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Too many incredible Dogs never get the chance to experience what every Dog deserves: a family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We chose Zeus because we believed he deserved that chance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We didn’t know he had cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We didn’t know we’d be facing months of treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But now that he’s ours, he’s family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever met Zeus, you’ll understand why we’re fighting so hard. He’s cheeky, hilarious, stubborn, incredibly affectionate on his terms, and absolutely full of life. He has embraced his second chance with everything he’s got.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He deserves the opportunity to celebrate many more birthdays surrounded by love instead of wondering if anyone would choose him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to donate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If donating isn’t possible, simply sharing Zeus’s story could help it reach someone who can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every share.
</div>
<div>Every dollar.
</div>
<div>Every message.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It all gives Zeus another chance to heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing that no dog is “too old,” “too sick,” or “too much” to be loved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Love,
</div>
<div>Taz, Ryan, Deccy, Sav, Gypsea, Georgia &amp; Zeus
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is the heartbreaking reality of rescues who “aren’t worth the effort &amp; money”</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>…</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Senior Dogs with ongoing health issues mostly never get adopted &amp; are either euthanatised or shot.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The adoption fee for older Dogs can be as little as $500, but many people understandably feel overwhelmed by the possibility of future vet bills, behavioural support, or emotional stress. Rescue organisations are drowning financially, and difficult decisions are made every single day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Too many Dogs lose their lives simply because they are old, sick, anxious, “too much,” or expensive to save.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We wanted to give Zeus a second chance, we didn’t know he had cancer &amp; when we realised something was wrong, we seeked medical attention . We never expected this twist .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To help Zeus have a fighting chance we would be so grateful for your support.
</div>
<div>In any way you can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even sharing Zeus’s story means the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No Dog deserves to lose their life because they are “too much.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sometimes they just need someone willing to treat them like he was apart of the family, because he is .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us give Zeus the healing journey he deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Love,
</div>
<div>Taz, Gypsea, Indi, Georgia &amp;

ZEUS AFTERCARE-SUPPORT (post op complications)

<div>Hi, my name is Maisie (or MJ). I’ve created this GoFundMe to support my dear friend Renee, a dedicated wildlife carer in South East Queensland.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the last 18 months, Renee has opened her home and her heart to injured and orphaned native animals — kangaroos, wallabies, birds, possums… if it lives in the bush, she’s probably nursed it back to health. Her days revolve around bottle‑feeding joeys, building safe spaces, and giving every creature a second chance on top of her 9-5!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A few days ago, tragedy struck. A pack of wild dogs broke into her kangaroo enclosure, killing every single one — including joeys she had been raising for months and were only weeks away from release. The loss has been devastating. These animals weren’t just wildlife in her care; they were her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As her friend, my heart is breaking for her. Renee has been working tirelessly on renovating a small flip‑house so she can eventually move to a safer property and build permanent, secure enclosures for future rescues. After this heartbreaking setback, I want to help her get there sooner.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation — big or small — will go directly toward helping Renee finish her renovation and relocate to a property where her future fur babies can have the safe, protected environment they deserve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read her story and for supporting someone who has spent her life supporting our wildlife.
</div>

Help Renee Out (Operation Forever Home)

<div>It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we have to share the news of the far too early passing of Joshua Piscitelli on Sunday, 14th July, 2024.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Josh was a son, brother, uncle, husband and great friend. He was also a father to his 20 month old son, Hunter. Josh was just 28 years young when he passed away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At age 27, in June 2023, Josh was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the tongue which had also spread to lymph nodes in his neck. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In July 2023, Josh underwent major surgery to remove the cancerous tissue and followed on with radiotherapy treatment that concluded in October 2023. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By January 2024, at Josh’s first routine PET scan, he found out his cancer was back. He commenced chemotherapy immediately but after a couple of failed rounds his treatment was intensified. Josh then fell victim to an extreme side effect of chemotherapy which put his body into septic shock in March 2024. With multiple surgeons and specialists surprised Josh had made it through the never before survived, deeming him a medical miracle, it was then revealed Josh had suffered multiple strokes as a result of the septic shock. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Josh commenced yet another intense road to recovery. His rehabilitation was coming along in leaps and bounds but unfortunately a short time later was advised that chemotherapy treatment wasn't working and Josh's condition was now terminal, less than 12 months after his initial diagnosis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With all of the emotional pain and stress that death, cancer and terminal illness brings, it can also bring massive financial burdens. Josh was the primary income provider for his household and should have had his whole working life ahead of him. Josh's wife Chelsea and son Hunter are now left to pick up the pieces as they prepare for major financial and emotional shifts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We would like to raise money for Josh's wife and son to help with both funeral expenses and future living expenses for his young family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation is so greatly appreciated and will go a long way in providing Josh's family with some comfort during this awful time. Please keep Josh's family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div>Original post from August 2023:
</div>
<div>My name is Callan Oorschot and I write to you today on behalf of my friend Joshua Piscitelli as he has been tragically struck with some life-altering circumstances and we need your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would like to share some insight into my friend Josh and his current situation.
</div>
<div>Joshua Piscitelli is one of our Mechanics for Diggers and Drills here at Royhill, many of you may already know him but for the one's who haven't yet had the privilege to cross paths, I hope you do shorty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From his Roy Hill family, he is described as easygoing, helpful, hard-working, generous and just an outright genuine guy who we are lucky to have.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But in his personal world he plays a much bigger role. Josh has worked hard from a young age, with a smart head on his shoulders, discipline and commitment to providing himself with a life he wanted, with a life he was willing to earn and he had done that.
</div>
<div>Financially saving enough for a deposit to buy his own home, marrying the woman of his dream's and together having a healthy baby boy Hunter only 8 months ago, it would seem Josh was on his path to fulfilment at only age 27.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I wish I could continue writing about Josh’s life a few weeks ago as it was blue sky's. Spending his free time with his wife out fishing, camping, and watching his young boy learn and grow. Creating those memories and taking advantage of the life he had provided for himself and his family. But unfortunately, it's no longer sunny days for the Piscitelli family and this is why we need your help!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A couple of months ago Josh had a suspected ulcer on his tongue that wouldn't go away. Causing a lot of discomfort and slowly getting worse. After months of antibiotics, he persisted in getting answers. Attending to a few different doctors he finally got a biopsy carried out, but the results were going to be his biggest nightmare.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At 27 Josh was diagnosed with Stage 2 Cancer in his tongue and throat. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This heart-wrenching information had Josh and his wife Chelsea in disbelief. Hoping for a mistake, misinformation or to wake up from this nightmare. Anything just not this. But unfortunately, that's not the case.
</div>
<div>Josh had found himself knocked down, laying in bed and kissed by cancer.
</div>
<div>After a lot of tears, a lot of hugs, anxiousness, a racing heartbeat, confusion, frustration and the truth that comes with Cancer, uncertainty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He did what he had to do, fight.
</div>
<div>Josh dug deep, stood up and got straight to work with no messing around and within a week of diagnosis Josh was blessed enough to get a spot in surgery. After a 14-hour-long surgery taking skin and nerves from his left arm and grafting it on his tongue and throat miraculously the surgery was a success.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now for the hard part. Recovery
</div>
<div>After waking up to having to eat and breathe through tubes the long road to recovery has begun. With doctors and nurses coming in every 30 minutes to see how things are going you can imagine it's hard to get any rest.
</div>
<div>With an abundance of family, visits to keep his spirit high. Communicating via notes on his phone he said to me "At 27 I can't believe how quickly things can change"
</div>
<div>He is not wrong there. The worries I had going on in life disappeared as they were minuet in comparison. It's crazy how perspective can dramatically change your outlook on a situation. Seeing Josh lay there and what he and his family are going through reminded me to cherish what we do have, acknowledge our achievements and too show appreciation for each day as it comes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For now, we wait in limbo for the result of Josh’s surgery. Confirmation whether further treatment will be required, chemo etc. Josh is looking at over 6 months of rehabilitation and a recovery timeline from the surgery alone.
</div>
<div>His strength and his attitude towards this recovery are nothing but inspiring to witness. Josh has no doubt he will beat this as do we all. It's going to be a lot of hard work, some more dark days to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we all know bills don't stop coming in whether we are home or not.
</div>
<div>If you are able to, a donation of any size would contribute greatly to helping keep things on track for Josh and his young family while Josh’s health lies in limbo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is nothing more important in life than advocating for your own health, as Josh’s recent journey has shown
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let's show Josh how much love and support is out there for him, if we can, a small donation from you can make a world of difference to Josh and his family thank you all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'll keep you updated on Josh's recovery.
</div>

In memory of Joshua Piscitelli. Help support his family.

<div>On Thursday 27 July 2023, the world lost a beautiful, bright and bubbly soul in Georgia Lyall. Fiercely loyal, independent, funny and caring, there wasn’t a day that went by where Georgia didn’t make a positive impact on someone’s life. Our Georgia was selfishly and devastatingly murdered in her own home and those close to her are now faced with the crushing reality that life will never be the same again.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Georgia leaves behind her beautiful, vivacious and loving 5 year old son who is now in the care of Georgias wonderful mother Robyn. Georgia was an extremely dedicated mum who was doing an amazing job raising him on her own. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any money that you can spare will be put towards the funeral for Georgia and to help support Robyn and her family during this incredibly stressful and sad time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you

</div>

<p dir="ltr">Sadly on Thursday the 29th of June 2017 Paul Schmidt a beloved Father, Brother, Poppy and Friend passed away in his sleep at his home in Broome. My dad was such an amazing poppy to my 3 kids they would video call him and use the funny filters on their faces making poppy laugh and he would always say " soooo... how's your day" and "blackboard says urry up" - from mr squiggle. My family would like to thank everyone for their condolences and offers for support and help it means the world to us to learn how he touched so many lives. Unfortunately we have come to learn that dad did not have a funeral plan or a will so we are trying our hardest to come up with the funds for his funeral and with dads life being in broome and his family spread out in perth and interstate it is making it alot more difficult, after having alot of conversations with people in the community of broome that worked and volunteered with dad and were also friends with dad we have made the decision to have a ceremony in Broome where dad called home and was loved by many. Dad wanted to be cremated and to fly into the wind off his motorbike we will have a ceremony and cremation in perth as unfortunately this service is not offered in Broome, then fly to Broome to give dad his last wish and have a send off he would <u>have</u> wanted surrounded by people he loved and who loved him and be in a place he called home. Any funds that are not needed to cover funeral and airfares will be donated to St johns Ambulance where dad volunteered / Broome Hospital where dad worked. 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">I have also set up a page<br>
 " remembering paul schmidt"<br>
for friends and family to share photos and memories of dad that we can all have a laugh and smile at and i can show the kids
