When the isolation feels like too much … your giving heart makes all the difference for people like Elizabeth.
Elizabeth left the Gold Coast to a farm in rural Victoria, seeking safety and a fresh start with her new husband. Despite a warm welcome from the farming community, isolation and loneliness began to take its toll on her mental health.
That’s when the Flying Doctor Wellbeing service stepped in and with Joe’s support, Elizabeth found strength and hope.
We couldn’t keep these crucial services running without you. So please consider a generous, tax-deductible gift to the Flying Doctor today.
You are the beating heart of our operation. Thank you!
