Memorial and Legacy of Walter Green
Donation protected
Hi, My name is Caroline Smith. I recently lost my partner Walter after a short but brutal battle with prostate cancer. I have been with him since I was 16 yrs old and we shared 32 yrs together . Walter had a dream to leave a legacy as his memorial. We have both worked our whole lives to achieve our hobby farm in a Beautiful town and community. Though we were to be robbed, with Walter being diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer within months of us buying and moving in. His cancer very quickly matastised to the bone, he endured 2 major surgeries that nearly killed him to go through 2 rnds of Chemo. 15 months after diagnosis I lost him at home after nursing him on the 12th of September this year. I'm so lost as to how to function on my own and run this 5.5 acre property. I have lost my everything in him, it's so confronting, I suddenly don't even have a next of kin or emergency contact. I don't even have my driver's license ( which I'm currently working on) I need equipment to aid in my labour and I am fund-raising to keep Walter's dreams alive. This is all to be left for his grandchildren to take over.Hence why I'm working so hard to do it all by myself. He wanted to be able to donate back to the cancer ward at our local hospital and to the palliative care service and the Windamara Indigenous health service . Without their care and support I would have lost him even sooner. Please help to raise funds for me to keep the farm by myself and give back to our Wonderful community of healthcare workers and facilities for other future patients. Our town sadly has an alarming number of cancer patients diagnosed and being diagnosed. This is the memorial he wanted to leave things better for others. Thanks for your kind support.
