It is with immense sadness that I am sharing the passing of my dear friend, Toni, who lost her battle with cancer on Monday morning. Diagnosed in December, her fight was brief but courageous. She leaves behind four beautiful children—Lauren, Lucas, Eden, and Roman—who are now facing something no child should ever have to: saying goodbye to their mum far too soon.

Toni was an incredible woman, a devoted mother, and a true friend to so many. She had a heart of gold and was always looking after everyone else’s children as if they were her own. She touched so many lives with her kindness, warmth, and generosity. Her loss has left a deep hole in our hearts and our community.

Now, her children must navigate the heartbreaking task of arranging a funeral for their mum. We want to give Toni the farewell she deserves, but we also want to ensure her children have some financial security during this incredibly difficult time. as they grieve and I hope to ease some of the burdens they now face.

We are asking for any support—no matter how big or small—to help cover funeral costs and provide Toni’s children with some stability in the months ahead. Every donation will go directly to supporting them through this unimaginable loss.
