<div>On Tuesday morning 1st September, Tayla took her last breath surrounded by the people she loved the most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tayla’s family would like to thank every single person who has loved her, supported her, encouraged her, and walked beside them through the hardest chapter of their lives. They are now learning how to live with the unimaginable loss of their girl.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tayla’s journey was long and painful, but she never gave up. She fought every single day. She lived, she loved, she laughed, and she kept pushing forward even when things were incredibly hard.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cancer may have taken Tayla from us, but it could never take away the mark she left on the people around her. She will live on through every person she touched, every friendship she made, every laugh she shared, and every life she made brighter simply by being in it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tayla got more time with her friends, her family, her husband, and her beloved Archie. She made memories, she celebrated milestones, and she continued to live her life on her terms.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now it’s time to give Tayla the celebration of life she deserves. Her service will be beautiful, just as she wanted, and just as she was.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who has followed Tayla’s journey, supported her family, shared her story, and contributed towards giving her the farewell she deserves. Your love and generosity have meant more than words can say.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tayla’s favourite quote is:
</div>
<div>“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take your breath away.”
</div>
<div>And Tayla certainly filled her life with moments that took our breath away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tay, you will be loved, remembered, and missed forever. Everyone’s favourite girl.
</div>

Tayla's Celebration of Life

<div>My name is Ammie, and I am a close family friend  of Peri and Marianne. I am creating this fundraiser to help ease the financial burden they are facing after the heartbreaking loss of their precious stillborn baby.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our hearts are broken for Marianne and Peri as they face the unimaginable loss of their beautiful daughter, Zoe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After years of hoping and praying to grow their family, and enduring the heartbreak of 5 miscarriages, Marianne finally fell pregnant with Zoe. She carried her precious baby girl to full term, reaching 39 weeks, while eagerly preparing to welcome her into the world alongside her two loving sons Elijah and Gabriel, aged 9 and 10.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tragically, when Marianne went into hospital for her planned c-section, Zoe's heartbeat could no longer be found. In a moment that should have been filled with joy, Marianne and Peri were forced to say goodbye to the daughter they had waited so long to meet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No words can truly capture the depth of this loss. As they navigate the overwhelming grief of losing Zoe, we hope to ease some of the financial pressures that come with time away from work, funeral costs, and the many unexpected challenges that accompany such a devastating tragedy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this page. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will help support Marianne, Peri, and their family as they grieve, heal, and honour the memory of their beloved Zoe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for surrounding this family with love, compassion, and support during the most difficult time of their lives.
</div>

Precious Baby Zoe 

<div>We are life long family friends of Jarrad &amp; Natalie Peck, it breaks our hearts to tell their story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Natalie lost her dad suddenly to cancer only 7 weeks ago at the young age of 54. She was 30 weeks pregnant with his 1st granddaughter, Sophia Kylie.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>On 23/5/24 Jarrad &amp; Natalie gave birth to Sophia Kylie, she entered this world peacefully sleeping.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The sudden loss of 2 loved ones in the short space of 7 weeks has left an indelible mark on their heart, a void that cannot be filled.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's a wrenching experience that has shattered their world, leaving them left behind grappling with an avalanche of emotions—grief, disbelief, and profound sadness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the wake of such tragedy, the pain is compounded by the practical challenges it brings—financial burdens that can seem insurmountable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yet, amidst the darkness, there's a glimmer of hope.
</div>
<div>As we come together to support one another, to extend a helping hand, we not only ease the immediate burden but also show that love and compassion can prevail even in the darkest of times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contribution to this fund-raiser will not only provide much-needed financial assistance but also serve as a beacon of light in the midst of sorrow, reminding Jarrad &amp; Natalie that they are never alone in their struggles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our aim is to raise some money to assist Jarrad &amp; Natalie pay their mortgage for the next 6 months while they take she much needed time away from work to spend some quality time together during what would be considered the most difficult time of their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No donation is too small, every dollar will be greatly appreciated by Jarrad &amp; Natalie during what would be considered the most difficult time in their life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We thank you with all our hearts, the OG Fulko family x
</div>

<div>My name is Mark Kelly, and I have known Rick Martin for close to 10 years as a colleague, and a dear friend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Meet Rick</strong>
</div>
<div>Over the past 18 years, the electricity distribution industry has had the pleasure of knowing Rick Martin, a jovial truck driver and plant operator known for going above and beyond to ensure a safe workplace. Ricky is also very well known for his lifelong devotion to Ford cars.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, Rick faces the toughest challenge of his life – stage 4 colorectal cancer with liver metastasis. Sadly, the cancer is incurable, but with palliative chemotherapy, we hope to improve his quality of life and ease the symptoms caused by the disease. As Rick fights with unwavering determination, we, his friends and colleagues, are rallying together to offer support to him and his beloved family during this difficult journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/74169747_1689749565455730_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Meet Rick's Family</strong>
</div>
<div>Rick is not just a skilled professional; he is a loving husband to his wife, Kylie, and a devoted father to his four children – Leanne, Natalie, Bradley, and David. In just nine weeks, the Martin family will welcome their first grandchild into the world, a joyous occasion that Rick is determined to witness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Kylie's Sacrifice:</strong>
</div>
<div>In this challenging time, Kylie has made the selfless decision to take leave without pay from her job to be by Rick's side and provide the care and love he needs. As they navigate this journey together, the family faces various financial burdens, including medical bills, transport costs, and parking fees for frequent appointments. Moreover, they have learned about an alternative chemotherapy treatment that may offer a glimmer of hope, but it comes with a significant cost of thousands of dollars per month. Additionally, they need to set up their home with essential care equipment for at-home treatment and recovery, further straining their financial resources.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How Your Donation Can Make a Difference:</strong>
</div>
<div>The Martin family is not asking for a handout, but they humbly welcome any assistance you can provide. Your generous donations will make an immediate and tangible impact on their lives, lifting the weight of financial stress and allowing them to focus on what truly matters – cherishing the precious moments together. Your contribution will:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Help with medical expenses and palliative care, ensuring Rick's comfort and quality of life.
</li>
<li>Cover transportation and parking fees for countless appointments, easing the logistical challenges during this difficult time.
</li>
<li>Potentially open up the possibility of accessing alternative chemotherapy, offering a glimmer of hope and extending Rick's time with his loved ones.
</li>
<li>Enable the setup of essential care equipment at home, facilitating Rick's treatment and recovery in the familiar and comforting surroundings of his family.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Join Us in Supporting Rick and His Family:</strong>
</div>
<div>Together, as a community, we can make a meaningful impact on the Martin family's life during this challenging moment. Rick's infectious laughter and kind heart have touched us all, and now is our chance to give back to someone who has given so much to others.
</div>

Supporting Rick Martin: Battling Cancer Together

<div>Meet Uma, a beautiful 4-year-old from Melbourne. She loves playing with Barbies and riding her pony and she desperately needs your help. <br /><br />In 2020, at only 2 years old, Uma was diagnosed with a serious form of childhood cancer (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia). Although this period was extremely difficult (not only for Uma but her parents &amp; older sister too), she fortunately responded well to the chemotherapy, and after almost 2 years, was finally due to finish all treatment in October 2022.<br /><br />However unfortunately, in May 2022, while in for a normal routine check-up, the doctors gave the devastating news that Uma had relapsed, but this time with a different, more aggressive type of leukaemia (Acute Myeloid Leukaemia). The doctors believe this mutation of cancer is likely a rare side effect of the initial treatment itself. <br /><br />Once again, she has responded well to the chemo, however without a bone marrow transplant it is highly likely she will relapse again. Just last week she was rushed to hospital on two separate occasions because she had a seizure, which is where she currently remains. The chemotherapy in her brain is toxic and is causing the seizures, along with many other issues throughout her body. This is why the situation is so urgent - she can’t afford to relapse and have any more chemo. She needs the transplant as soon as possible.<br /><br />Despite Uma being born in Australia and living here her whole life, because her parents are Italian and here on a working visa, her care is not covered by Medicare. For the last 2 years their private health insurance has covered most of her treatment, but sadly transplants are not covered and the estimated cost is $300,000 – and this does not account for any complications!<br /><br />The hospital has also just notified the family, that due to decisions made from higher up, without at least a 50% up front deposit, Uma’s treatment will be put on hold.<br /><br />Uma’s family has lived here in Australia for 7 years and are working towards their permanent residency. Giuseppe is a partner in a business with his cousins, pays tax and employs 20+ Aussies. The business is still young and was impacted heavily by COVID. Their family are active members of their local community and contribute to society, but still because of the complicated visa situation, they are not covered by Medicare for this life saving treatment.<br /><br />Giuseppe, Lucia, Solejai and Uma are of course devastated by this news and are now reaching out to the community to help cover the cost to get Uma the treatment she needs.

Uma's battle continues...

Hi,<br /><br />My name is Breigh-Ellen Penman and I am a 16 year old ballet dancer from Sydney, Australia. Just like any other ordinary 16 year old girl I have a dream. For as long as I can recall my ultimate goal was to become a student at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow, Russia. Being a student at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy would be a dream come true and a life changing opportunity for me to further my ballet studies.<br /><br />For the past 14 years of my life I have been working tirelessly to turn this dream into a reality and so I am very honoured and proud to announce that the hard work has finally paid off! This July I had an amazing opportunity to take part in the Royal Danish Ballet Summer Intensive in Denmark and the Bolshoi Ballet Academy Summer Intensive in Russia. I had an incredible experience at both these summer intensives and loved learning new ballet techniques from inspiring faculty and making new friends. But out of both these places I bet it comes as no surprise to you all that it was in Russia I felt most at home. As soon as I walked through the double doors at the entrance of the Academy there was no doubt in my mind that Bolshoi was where I wanted to study. I fell in love instantly and never wanted to leave. Luckily enough I was one of few Australians to ever be accepted into the Academies Year Round International Traineeship Program of ‘CHOREOGRAPHIC ART’! This means that my lifelong dream will be coming true as I move to Russia this September!<br /><br />The only problem is I need your help!!!<br /><br />The tuition fee for my first year at this prestigious school is $30,000 which includes boarding and on top of this there are general expenses that include food, pointe shoes, flights and other necessities. My family and I would greatly appreciate some help as we cannot come up with this money on our own. My family has already sacrificed sooooo much for me in order to achieve my dreams and so I’m looking to people like yourself to help us out. I promise that your donations will not go to waste as I plan to make the most out of this opportunity. So please help me out with this as any donations are a huge help to me no matter how small. I cannot express to you enough how much it means to me so thank you.<br /><br />If you would like to keep tabs on my progress as I undergo my new journey don’t hesitate to visit my instagram account @breigh_ellen_marie where I will keep you updated! So once again I’d like to say thank you to anyone who donates, to my family, friends and to the amazing teachers at my ballet school The McDonald College without you none of this would be possible.

On Wednesday the 26th of July 2017 the world lost a bright spark. Matthew Jarrod Storey was a son, brother, husband, father-to-be, solider and friend to many. Matt's wife Naomi - is currently heavily pregnant with a beautiful baby girl. <br /><br />My name is Georgia and I was lucky enough to meet Matt and Naomi in late 2014 when I moved to North Queensland. Matt was a beautiful friend, so much fun to be around and had the biggest and brightest smile I've ever seen. I have set this page up in the hopes that we can raise funds to go towards baby Storey. <br /><br />Naomi, you are one of a kind. Truly the strongest woman I have ever met. We cannot wait for bubba Storey to arrive. Love you endlessly <br /><br /><strong>Rest in peace Matt - forever in our hearts.</strong>
