Born and married in Vietnam before moving to Australia in 2004 Thi Thu Hien ‘Helen’, 44, wrote to us to say “My husband Henry and I are blessed with two beautiful children, aged 14 and 10. As a family we love spending time with each other. My dream is to have some lovely portraits done of my family this will be something we all cherish.”

Within two days of receipt of the letter our Dream Makers had arranged a photographer, our valued friend and supporter Julia Nance, to attend the palliative care at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and capture Helen and her family’s special time together.

Helen wrote after the photoshoot “Dream2Live4 gave us a very meaningful day. I spent a wonderful day with my family. The photos are so beautiful and looking at them bring me happiness and lift my mood. Thank you so much for organising this in such a short time.”
