Kim’s Story: ‘All I've ever wanted to do is help people and make a difference'

Kim’s life was turned upside down by a rare cancer diagnosis that saw her endure multiple surgeries and years of rehabilitation work.

Kim’s life was turned upside down by a rare cancer diagnosis that saw her endure multiple surgeries and years of rehabilitation work.

She was forced to give up her biomedical science degree studies, now with permanent damage to her ankle and unable to work as she recovered.

As a single parent, Kim did all she could to provide for her little boy and when NUCASTLE opened on their doorstep, it quickly became a home away from home.

Kim’s compassion saw her build friendships with families in NUCASTLE and she regularly helped Foundation staff deliver free services for NE4 residents.

Kim happily joined the Foundation team six months ago, creating positive change for countless families as well as her own.
