 Help Angus and his family through an unimaginable time ❤️
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 On Saturday night, a family’s world was changed forever.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Angus and his friends were travelling home near Eden when their vehicle collided with a kangaroo on the Princes Highway, causing the vehicle to leave the road and roll down an embankment.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Angus survived the crash but sustained serious injuries and is currently undergoing surgery at Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney. He now faces a long and difficult road to recovery, with further treatment and rehabilitation expected.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Daniel and Rennae work incredibly hard to support their family and provide for their children. With Angus now facing an extended period of treatment and recovery, they are facing significant financial pressures at a time when their focus needs to be on supporting their son and their family.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There will be ongoing costs associated with Angus’ treatment and recovery, including medical and rehabilitation expenses, travel and accommodation, everyday living costs and the financial impact of needing to spend an extended period away from work. At this stage, the full extent of Angus’ treatment, recovery and the associated expenses remains unknown.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We are hoping to come together as a community and take some of that financial pressure away from the family, allowing them to focus on Angus and his recovery.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and help with the ongoing costs they are facing during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you aren’t in a position to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as valuable and could help us reach people who are able to contribute.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Please keep Angus, Daniel, Rennae, Mahkai, Meadow and their extended family in your thoughts as they navigate the difficult road ahead.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Any support you can give this family will mean more than words can express. ❤️
</div>

Support Angus and his family through an unimaginable time ❤️

<div>Over a year ago, my beautiful niece Sharon had her life change in a heartbeat. In fact her heart tried a couple of times to stop beating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She was critically ill, and urgently airlifted to Canberra hospital, and not expected to survive. Her family were told to prepare for the worst including all the unknown side effects of a serious bacterial infection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sharon fought against all odds, in an intensive care unit for months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has endured more than most of us could ever imagine — months and months and is still in hospital, countless procedures, isolation and life-altering challenges. One thumb required amputation and most recently, Sharon underwent a leg amputation. It’s a loss that has changed her life forever, and one she is still coming to terms with every single day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite everything, Sharon continues to show incredible strength, courage, and faith. She says she can now see a small flicker of light at the end of a very long dark tunnel — but the road ahead is still long and circuitous.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sharon faces an ongoing journey of recovery, rehabilitation, and learning to live independently again. This includes prosthetics, mobility equipment, home adjustments, and continued medical care .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through it all, Sharon has been deeply grateful for the love and support surrounding her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her beloved shop, Glen Mia in Bega, has kept its doors open, thanks to an incredible team of family and friends and the continued support of the local community she loves so much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sharon has given so much to her community and now the supporter needs to be supported.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to donate, no matter how big or small, you will be helping Sharon:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>• Access essential rehabilitation and prosthetic support</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>• Modify her home for safe and independent living</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>• Ease the financial burden during her recovery</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>• Take meaningful steps toward rebuilding her life</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re not in a position to donate, sharing this page would mean so much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sharon is still here. Still fighting. Still hopeful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your support, we can help her take the next steps forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of her journey and for your love, care and understanding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From her Aunty Rosalie
</div>
<div>(Sharon's Mum was my big sister).
</div>

LET'S SEE SHARON SMILE AGAIN... She is a REAL warrior!

<div>Meet Lucas, my beautiful great-nephew who lives in Bega. Lucas is now five years old — the sweetest, happiest little man you could ever meet. He has a smile that lights up every room and a heart full of love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lucas is a true little Aussie warrior, living with Level 5 Cerebral Palsy caused by a Grade 4 brain bleed at birth, along with multiple other complex medical conditions including epilepsy and cortical blindness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Throughout his short life, Lucas has spent more than a year in and out of hospitals. Most recently, he’s spent four months in a hospital bed due to the need for multiple emergency brain surgeries — eight in total — while being six hours away from home in Bega.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lucas’s Story
</div>
<div>Lucas was born prematurely at 27 weeks during the 2019 bushfires in the rural town of Bega, NSW.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His mum Sienna went into spontaneous labour while evacuating their home and trying to get their animals to safety. Lucas was born at Bega Hospital, which didn’t have the proper neonatal equipment to care for a baby born so early.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For 11 heartbreaking hours, he was hand-ventilated by medical staff, wrapped in glad wrap to keep him warm, as no emergency services could reach them due to the surrounding bushfires and smoke.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Against all odds, Lucas survived — proving from day one that he’s a fighter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We’re Asking for Help
</div>
<div>Lucas’s devoted parents, Sam and Sienna, have never received any compensation or charitable assistance. They’ve always believed that “there’s always someone worse off.” But after everything they’ve endured this year, they truly need help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In July, they faced every parent’s nightmare — a 3am emergency transfer to Sydney Children’s Hospital when a CT scan revealed Lucas’s VP shunt had blocked, requiring emergency brain surgery. Since then, there have been multiple complications and additional brain bleeds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The financial and emotional toll has been enormous. Supporting Lucas during his hospital stays has already cost the family over $20,000, including accommodation, travel, and lost income. Sam had to return to work shortly after the first surgery, while Sienna remains Lucas’s full-time carer in their one-income household.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Make a Difference
</div>
<div>Every single donation, no matter how small, will go directly towards:
</div>
<div>• Accommodation, meals, and transport for family members traveling from Bega
</div>
<div>• Ongoing medical care and aids to help Lucas adjust when he returns home
</div>
<div>• Emotional and practical support for Sam and Sienna after months of trauma
</div>
<div>• A wheelchair-accessible vehicle for daily transport and hospital visits
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lucas and his family are incredibly grateful for any support — whether that’s a donation or simply sharing his story to help us reach more people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can give Lucas the comfort, care, and freedom he deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Support little Lucas - our brave bushfire warrior

<div>My name is Chris Burke, I’m 40 years old from Canberra, Australia.
</div>
<div>I’m the proud Dad of a 5-year-old boy who means the world to me, and I’m engaged to an incredible woman who I can’t wait to marry next year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was told I could have as little as three months to live after being diagnosed with metastatic osteosarcoma in my lungs — a rare and aggressive form of cancer that very few people my age experience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After exhausting every available treatment option in Australia, I’ve found a specialist cancer clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, that offers advanced therapies not accessible here. I truly believe this is my best — and possibly my only — chance to continue this fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My goal is simple: I want to keep being the Dad my little boy needs, to see him grow, and to stand beside my fiancée at our wedding next year. Being at my own wedding, and walking into that day healthy and strong, is a dream I’m determined to make real.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The costs, however, are significant — the treatment program must be paid upfront and in U.S. dollars, which makes the total amount even higher. Every donation will go directly toward:
</div>
<div>- Economy flights to and from Tijuana
</div>
<div>- In-patient accommodation at the medical facility
</div>
<div>- Cancer treatment and medical support
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even the smallest contribution helps give me more time with the people I love most. If you can’t donate, sharing this page means the world to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My greatest wish is to keep being here — not just as a survivor, but as a Dad, a husband, and a family man.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me fight for my future, and for the future of my little boy and my soon-to-be wife.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>— Chris Burke
