Every child of a veteran who is seriously ill or has passed away deserves the opportunity to realise their full potential.
Nicholas is only 20, but with a seriously ill veteran parent, he’s faced challenges and uncertainties far beyond his years.
Before he was born, Nicholas' mum, Joanne, proudly served in the Australian Army, including a deployment in Timor-Leste.
He was only 13 years old when she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of melanoma. “I didn’t even understand what melanoma was or what it would do to Mum - or my sister, Isabelle, and I.”
As a single mum, Joanne was already doing everything she could to make ends meet. But as her health rapidly deteriorated, she could no longer work.
“When Legacy came in, everything changed... it wasn’t just financial help - the biggest difference was seeing Mum finally feel safe again,” says Nicholas.
As you read this, there are more veterans’ families like Nicholas’ that need your support. Your gift today is a promise to the families and individuals Legacy cares for that they will always have someone to turn to.
Legacy never forgets the family behind our heroes
Legacy is a volunteer-driven charity. The Legacy community wraps itself around a veteran’s family to give them the support and compassion they need. Many Legacy volunteers come from military families, so we understand the effects a life of service can have.
It’s no replacement for a loved one, but Legacy acts as both a village and an extended family. Legacy is a life-long support group for military families.
Legacy is a charity that exists to care for military families
Legacy started as a promise from one digger to another on the battlefield. "Don't worry mate, I'll take care of your family."
100 years later, Legacy still exists to care for and support the military families of our returned soldiers.
At Legacy, we know that family is the most important thing.
Legacy remembers our soldiers by caring for their families.
Legacy never forgets the families of our servicemen & women, for it is them who live with the sacrifice every day.
This tax-time donate to Legacy, the charity that supports Aussie veterans and their families.
