Personal message
Today, we are reaching out to share a heartfelt story about resilience, courage, and the strength of the human spirit.
Our dear colleague, Trish, who has dedicated her life to shaping the minds of our future generations, as a teacher, is currently facing an unimaginable challenge. Her son, Brendon, a 26-year-old young man full of dreams and potential, has recently been diagnosed with aggressive cancer.
In the face of this daunting diagnosis, Brendon has shown extraordinary bravery and courage as he undergoes rigorous chemotherapy treatments. His spirit remains unwavering, embodying hope and resilience to beat this disease. As a symbol of eternal hope, the family have adopted the colour blue and a butterfly to represent their journey.
While their positivity and strength are truly inspiring, the financial burden of medical bills and the ongoing costs associated with Brendon's care are substantial. In these challenging times, we are reaching out to the community for support.
We invite you to join us in rallying around Trish and her family by contributing whatever you can to help alleviate the financial strain. No donation is too small, and every gesture of kindness will make a meaningful impact on Brendon's journey to recovery.
Let's come together as a community to support a colleague who has touched the lives of countless students and families. Your generosity will not only provide practical assistance but also serve as a powerful symbol of solidarity and compassion.
Your support will directly contribute to Brendon's access to the best possible medical care, ensuring he receives the treatment he needs to overcome this challenging chapter in his life.
Thank you for opening your hearts and extending a helping hand to Trish and her family during this difficult time. Together, we can make a difference and show them that they are not alone in this fight.
