❤️ THIS ISN’T MY USUAL HAIRDRESSING POST…
But sometimes there are things far more important than hair.
I don’t often use my business page for personal fundraisers, and I certainly wouldn’t share something like this unless it was incredibly close to my heart.
These are beautiful friends of ours — genuinely good people who would be far more comfortable helping somebody else than ever asking for help themselves.
Their gorgeous little girl Sofia has just turned five, and completely out of the blue, their world has been turned upside down. Sofia has been diagnosed with a serious heart defect and now needs to travel from Tasmania to Melbourne for further testing and heart surgery at the Royal Children’s Hospital.
Her parents, Kate and Ethan, will be taking their whole little family with them and are expecting to be away for around 20 days if everything goes to plan. That means unpaid time away from work, lost income and all of the unexpected expenses that come with suddenly having to relocate your family interstate — while trying to navigate something no parent ever wants to face.
After a little convincing, they finally allowed me to set up this GoFundMe for them. ❤️
And this is where I’m asking my beautiful little salon community for some help.
Please, please share this.
I know life is expensive and I would never want anyone to feel pressured to donate. If you can spare $5, $10 or anything at all, it all adds up and will be so incredibly appreciated. But if donating isn’t possible, sharing this costs absolutely nothing — and it could make just as much difference.
My little business has given me the privilege of connecting with so many people over the years, and today I’m hoping we can use that reach for something bigger than hair.
Let’s get Sofia’s story far and wide. Share it to your page, send it to your friends and family, share it with your workplace — whatever you can do to help us reach the next person.
Because right now, Kate and Ethan should only have to concentrate on their beautiful five-year-old girl and getting her safely through surgery and back home.
We can help take care of a little bit of the rest. ❤️
I’m setting up this GoFundMe for some very special friends of ours, Kate and Ethan, and their beauti… Amanda Clout needs your support for Together For Sofia
