52 Lives

Life #9

Request: Some carefree quality time together...perhaps a dinner for two, a spa voucher or shopping vouchers.

This week, we want to spread some kindness to an Ipswich (QLD) lady called Liza and her mum. They are going through a difficult period in their lives, and 52 Lives would like to give them some fun quality time together.

Liza recently had a baby boy and, due to life events, is now raising him on her own. She has an older son who is a great help to her, and her mum - who is not only incredibly supportive, but also her best friend.

Sadly, her mother was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, and they have just found out that it has spread.

It is obviously a very difficult time for both of them. But perhaps knowing that there are lots people out there who are thinking of them will give them some moments of happiness.

Donna, Liza's good friend and nominator said: “Liza is just kindness itself and goes out of her way to help people. She and her mum have been through so much over the years. I would love for something nice to happen to the both of them”

Some carefree quality time together...perhaps a dinner for two, a spa voucher or shopping vouchers.

What We Did

Thanks to some kind donations, 52 Lives was able to buy Liza and her mum a gift voucher for a beauty salon in Ipswich.

And the lovely Andrea from Andrea Bartlett - Make-up & Beauty Bar has since also donated a voucher for the two ladies.

A note of thanks from Liza

"With all of my heart I would like to thank you all for taking the time out to do something touching for my mum and I through this hard time in our lives."
