Recently, we received some very sad news that one of our beloved colleagues Michelle and her family are going through an extremely difficult time, with her partner, Aaron, being diagnosed with Stage 4 aggressive Esophageal cancer.
Michelle and Aaron are a beautiful family with three gorgeous boys, all aged 10 and under. As you can imagine, this is an enormous amount for any family to face, and there is already so much for them to process and navigate.
The last thing we want Michelle and Aaron to have to worry about on top of everything else is the financial burden that can come with such an incredibly difficult time.
So, as a team and a community, we decided that we wanted to do something to help. ❤️
We have set up an AusPost Mastercard for Michelle and Aaron to use however they choose. We simply let them know the current balance so they don’t have to worry or stress when making purchases.
We’re really happy to hear that Michelle has already been able to use the card once or twice to purchase groceries and other necessities. 🛒❤️ Knowing that this support is already helping with some of the everyday things they need means so much to us.
And thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone who has contributed, we have already raised over $1,500 for Michelle, Aaron and the boys! 🥹💙
🏠 Wall of Support 🧱
We also wanted to create something special that Michelle, Aaron and the boys can keep as a little momento — something they can look at and be reminded of just how many people are behind them, supporting them and sending them love. 🥰
We are currently 3D printing a brick for every donation over $50, with the donor’s name printed on it. These bricks will be added to a board that we will present to Michelle, Aaron and the boys once it is filled.
If you would like to donate and/or have your name on the board, please inbox us for details.
You absolutely do not have to have a brick printed if you would prefer not to. Your donation can be anonymous or you can share a message of support that we will pass on to them.
💙 Donation Details
Please inbox us for all the details.
Every donation, no matter the amount, is a reminder to Michelle, Aaron and the boys that they are not alone. ❤️
A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, shared our post, checked in, sent messages or simply kept this beautiful family in your thoughts. Over $1,500 raised already is an incredible effort, and we are so incredibly grateful.
We know we cannot take away what this family is going through, but if we can help take away even a small part of the financial stress, then we know we are doing something worthwhile.
Thank you for helping us surround Michelle, Aaron and their boys with love, kindness and support when they need it most. 💙
