Melbourne based Filomena, whose husband died unexpectedly over 7 years ago and now lives solo with her beautiful 12-year-old daughter. Life threw them a massive ‘curve ball’ early in 2024 when a large tumour was discovered. Since then, Filomena’s cancer has advanced – and she contacted us with a dream to take her daughter to Brisbane so they could visit her sisters, a nephew, and stepdad.  It had been two years since the family had been together, and we are delighted that due to the generosity of our Christmas campaign supporters, the family were reunited late 2024 with Filomena saying “It gave us an opportunity to visit loved ones and enjoy quality valuable time together. I felt really happy!”
