As a sole parent I appreciate everything Queensland Police Legacy has done for my children and how they have supported them since their Dad's death. I will be forever grateful and indebted for the benefits that we have been provided that enabled our children to continue being educated at their chosen schools and then allowing for further tertiary education, apprenticeship opportunities and extra-curricular activities.

I am deeply thankful for the support I have had from Queensland Police Legacy in raising my children in my husband's absence and in his honour. Thank you for supporting me to provide and guide my children as both the Mum and Dad they needed. I was able to succeed in raising happy, healthy, skilled, educated and competent young adults thanks to the significant involvement of Queensland Police Legacy in our lives.
