My dream is for every child, regardless of their location, to have access to vital health services.

I'm raising awareness and funds to make crucial speech pathology services available to regional children through uni_newcastle's Gifting Day. 

In low socio-economic, regional areas, where services are scarce, children often face years-long waiting lists to access the speech pathology support they desperately need. During this time, their learning, language, and social connections can deteriorate.
 
You can help children in rural and regional areas access the support they need to reach their full potential. Please join me in shaping a better tomorrow for children in our communities by making a donation through the link in my bio.

We are raising awareness and funds to help people seeking asylum access higher education through the University of Newcastle’s Gifting Day.

Asylum seekers often overcome extraordinary obstacles to start lives of freedom, safety and opportunity in Australia. But they also face barriers to higher education when they arrive. Through the University’s Scholarship for Asylum Seeker Program 100% of the money we raise will go towards providing scholarship ‘safety nets’ for healthcare, groceries, rent and more. Through this program course fees are covered.

All donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible. You’ll also have a broader impact: on their families, on our community, and on a more inclusive and more equitable society.

You can read more and/or donate via the link in my bio!

Thank you. ❤️ #LetsShapeTomorrow

As the costs of living grow, the possibility of homelessness has become an increasing reality for the most vulnerable in our community, but also for people who never thought they would need to worry about having a safe place to sleep. Many of these people are women, our mothers, sisters, our cousins, and kin. There are an estimated 54,000 women who experience homelessness each night in Australia.

Your support this #GiftingDay can help provide this crucial service to women in the Hunter 🙌

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. This month we are asking you to consider making a donation to the uni_newcastle Gifting Day. In 2023 the campaign is featuring the paediatric stream of the Mark Hughes Foundation Centre for Brain Cancer Research.

The Centre is already making great strides in the fight against this disease. One of the Centre’s six streams of research, led by Professor Matt Dun, is working to advance treatments for children with brain cancer, providing much-needed hope for kids and their families. What is discovered in the lab will help people not just in our own community, but around Australia and the world.

Please help us fight for the families affected by the devastating diagnosis of brain cancer. Your support will be directed to the paediatric stream of the Mark Hughes Foundation Centre for Brain Cancer Research and will play a crucial role in driving critical research, giving hope to children with brain cancer and their families.

Last year, at the age of 13, Jett was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer (Grade 4 neuroepithelial Patz1 tumour). They found the cancer when Jett lost his sight – the tumour crushing his optical nerves, leaving him legally blind. In just 12 months he had endured 170 doses of chemotherapy, 33 rounds of radiation and 2 brain surgeries. He will miss two years of school.

Jett is sharing his story to raise awareness and funds to drive research into brain cancer. Join us in the fight against brain cancer and help make a difference in the lives of families, just like Jetts, affected by this devastating disease. Together, we can make a difference! 💪🧠
