Sharlene’s Circle of Care

Sharlene has given so much of herself to others. As a much-loved hairdresser at Mercy Parklands and St Andrew’s Village, she brought warmth, kindness, and dignity to residents, families, and staff alike. She is now facing advanced oesophageal cancer after a challenging and complex journey to diagnosis. Her health has declined rapidly, and she is dealing with significant pain, breathlessness, and difficulty swallowing. This page is about giving back to someone who has spent years caring for and uplifting our elders, with compassion at the heart of everything she did.
