we are a hard working low income family needing your help to get us to perth to support my husbands twin brother who has only months to liv

Nationwide

We got the horrendous news that my husbands twin brother Tim has terminal cancer with the prognosis of within a year to live out his 42 year life but each week that time is getting sorter by a month as this hideous growth grow 2cm each week it has spread from his lungs to his kidney, brain and is now in his glans he has almost lost his "funny voice" (aussie voice) that my kids loved to roll around the floor in fits of laughter at, when uncle was on speaker phone.

My husband hasn't seen his brother in over 20 years because of terrible circumstances within their family that seen the young twin brothers separated not only from each other but for Tim from all his family, to an entirely different country but not even with the ocean that separated them could brake the bond they have always had. This is why it is essential that my husband get over to Perth before its to late and that bond is broken with a big gap left in my husband heart.

For myself and my sons this is our first and last time we have to meet Tim.

We are a hard working family with the difficulties of having a child who needs extra support for his autistic disability. We have done everything in our powers to get there on our own accord but to no success I have pawned my jewellery including my wedding ring to rise the fund needed to do this trip.

We have been lucky enough to find free accommodation and use of a car when we do get there thanks to a wonderful co worker, so all we need your help with is the flight costs. we are so close now it would be heart shattering not to get to Perth in time and the sand on this hour glass is running out.
