I'd like to thank everyone who contributed and supported my family in some way, either financially or emotionally.

I feel proud to come from such a wonderful town that defines the term community. 

A community to me is a place of comfort, familiarity and togetherness. 

On the weekend I witnessed all these qualities.

The support from my community is making a difficult journey easier financially and emotionally.

I cannot express how I feel but I just want everyone to know that when you are in a time of need ... please ask, ask for help, don’t do it alone. 

I hope one day I will be able to repay the favour to our community.

I'd especially like to thank Lee and Miriam from the Great Southern Inn, you guys are a true asset to Eden. 

Jasmine Davis, Jenny Grant, Leanne Daly, Genevieve McGuiness, Jenny Grant, Sharen Kelly, Robin Wykes and Joyanne McGovern - Thank you.
