Life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with kidney disease at just 28 years of age. For a decade, I battled the challenges of deteriorating health, endless medical appointments, kidney dialysis and the emotional toll of waiting for a transplant.
At 38, my life changed forever due to a rock-climbing accident.
A young woman tragically lost her life at a time when it was just beginning. Her wishes to be an organ donor were supported by her family and I was fortunate to be selected to receive a kidney transplant. That moment not only restored my health but also gave me a new purpose — to help others facing their own struggles and ensure the gift I received from that young woman does not go to waste.
This journey and my overwhelming sense of gratitude inspired me to create Brighter Days Australia, a company dedicated to supporting people with health issues, disabilities, and the elderly in our local community. That’s why Brighter Days Australia is focused on providing comprehensive core services through the NDIS and in aged care, ensuring individuals receive the personalised care and assistance they need to live fulfilling lives.
My personal journey has shaped the foundation of this company. Brighter Days Australia isn’t just a business — it’s a reflection of my commitment to giving back, ensuring that no one feels alone in their journey.
If you or a loved one needs support, we’re here to help — because everyone deserves brighter days ahead.
