Our dedicated Legatee became a pillar of strength, advocating for our rights and ensuring we received the support we needed. They were always there, lending a listening ear or offering guidance during the initial stages of our grief.

Legacy quickly became more than an organisation to us – it become our second family. Through Legacy, we had the opportunity to connect with other families and individuals who had gone thorugh similar experiences. Sharing our stories and journeys, we found solace and understanding among peopel who truly comprehended the depth of our loss.

Through my personal experiences, I have witnessed firsthand the immense importance of Legacy’s mission. I know that my Father and other veterans whould find comfort in knowing that their families are supported in the same remarkable way that we have been by this incredible organisation" - Alexis, Tully Far North Queensland
