Get Lisa walking again

Hi, my name is Marina Cooper, and I am raising funds for my sister and her family. Last weekend Lisa had a fall that resulted in a spinal cord injury.

It has left her paralysed from the neck down, and she is unable to do the things that we all take for granted, like scratching her nose and feeding herself.

Those who know Lisa will realise how devastating this is for her as she has always been very fit, active and independent. She loves skating with her daughters Kirra and Jemma, swimming, camping, going to the gym and making the most of every day.

This situation has left her two girls without their Mum at night and her husband John doing his best in a horrible situation.

As Lisa's sister, I am devastated; we have been through many challenges together, and this one may be our biggest yet. It will take time, perseverance and money to get the support that Lisa needs. We aim to get Lisa back on her feet and get some independence back into her life.

I want to start with the basics; parking at the hospital daily is $26, which adds up to an expense that Lisa's family doesn't need right now, but the visits are crucial to her mental health.

If you can please consider donating just $26, I aim to have 2 months covered and then we can focus on the next steps of getting Lisa back on her feet.

Thank you for thinking of our family.
