    It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Tiff’s passing after a courageous two and a half year battle with cancer. She peacefully took her last breath on Monday morning the 22nd of April surrounded by loved ones, in her home, exactly as she wished. Tiffany's unwavering strength, humor, and resilience inspired all who knew her. Despite the challenges she faced, she never lost her spirit, bringing laughter and joy to those around her until the end.

    Tiffany expressed her gratitude for the generous support and kindness she received, particularly for the medication that gave her the extra time to be with her beloved sons, funded by many of you. She remained deeply touched by your generosity.

      Tiff I meet you when we were both 13 - I was the tall one, you the extremely short one!!!

      We’ve had some great times over the past 40 and a half years.

      You were a savior to me through some of my darkest days.

      We had such fun when you were my neighbour and the kids were growing up - bbq’s, wines and plenty of good conversations. All while Jakey barked his head off!!

      You were such a great mate Tiff, kind and considerate- giving to the kids at the kindy I work at (clothes etc) even when you were really unwell.

      Tiff God will welcome you with open arms. Love you buddy.

    Dear Friends and Family,

    I trust this message finds you and your loved ones in good health.

    It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to you once more, seeking your compassionate support. Your past generosity has been a lifeline in my journey, enabling me to undergo crucial treatments that have been instrumental in my fight against a relentless illness.

    Over the last two and a half years, I've endured numerous rounds of chemotherapy, unfunded medications like Avastin and Cetuximab, as well as daily intake of the Bravtovi Inhibitor. Hospitalizations for major surgery and pain management in Hospice have been part of this arduous journey.

    While the combination of my current medications shows promise in slowing the cancer's growth, the financial burden is overwhelming. Cetuximab alone costs $5,300.00 per fortnight, and the Bravtovi Inhibitor Tablets amount to $8,369.00 for a 32-day supply.

    To continue this battle for more time with my family, I humbly request your assistance. Your donations, regardless of the amount, will significantly impact my life and well-being. If you can contribute or share this message with others who might help, I would be profoundly grateful.

    I am not alone in this struggle; I have a supportive community, family, and friends like you standing by me. Your compassion and willingness to contribute can alter the trajectory of my story. Thank you for your unwavering love and support during this exceptionally challenging time.

    With love,

    Tiffany x

    We are immensely grateful and sincerely want to express our deepest appreciation to all the donors who have shown extraordinary generosity in supporting Tiff during her ongoing battle with cancer. The overwhelming response and the amount of funds raised within just two days have truly left us astounded and humbled.

    With your incredible contributions, we are now able to provide Tiff with the necessary financial means to access the next stage of her treatment. In just two weeks' time, she will commence her next chemotherapy sessions, and thanks to your invaluable support, she will also be able to incorporate a new drug into her treatment regimen.

    As Tiff embarks on her next stage of her journey she does so with profound gratitude for each and every one of you. Your selflessness and generosity have touched her heart and provided her with hope during this difficult time.
