Pam's Story · Australia

4 min read

Pam Spent a Lifetime Caring for Everyone Else.

Pam is 78. She is the primary carer for her bedridden daughter, who lives with severe illnesses. She also helps raise and care for her 12-year-old grandson, who has autism and developmental challenges.

This is the story of what happened when her years of caring were finally met by a community ready to care for her.

01 · She Never Stops Giving

Her Care Has Always Reached Beyond Herself.

Pam has spent her life caring for the people around her. Even while facing financial pressure and her own health issues, she has opened her home to people in need and offered support and guidance to those with nowhere else to turn.

She rarely asks for anything in return.

For years, Pam was the person other people could rely on.

02 · She Needed Someone to Care for Her

Behind Her Kindness Was Enormous Pressure.

Pam was managing household bills, medical-related costs, everyday living expenses and the ongoing care of her daughter and grandson.

After spending so much of her life helping everyone else, Lee wanted Pam to experience what it felt like to be supported. He shared her story with the community.

$10,500+ AUD Raised Through 120 Donations

People who had never met Pam heard her story and wanted to help. The fundraiser has raised more than $10,500 AUD through 120 donations.

Pam withdraws the funds directly. They help with everyday living expenses, medical-related costs, household needs and caring for her daughter and grandson.

Direct donations go to Pam through her GoFundMe.

Pam said something that struck a chord because it speaks to why Butterfly exists. She deserves every bit of love our beautiful community gives back.
