Looking after the Williams family while navigating the loss of their sweet Luca

Nationwide

With heavy hearts, we share the devastating news that beautiful Luca passed away peacefully, in the arms of her mum and dad.

Luca had been in Starship Hospital since the 30th July so both parents have had time off work, and on top of extra travel expenses while being away from home, there are funeral expenses as well. During this incredibly difficult time, we want to help ease some of the financial burden so they can focus on grieving, being together, and saying goodbye.

If you are able to contribute, no matter how big or small, your kindness and generosity will mean the world. If you're unable to donate, sharing this page would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for wrapping this family in your love, support, and prayers as they navigate one of the hardest journey of their lives.
