ReSpark Collective

We would like to share with you the story of one of our clients with her permission. Tracey Sloss

Tracey was initially diagnosed with Choroidal Melanoma resulting in the removal of her right eye in March 2021. Leaving her with lifelong vision impairment.

Unfortunately Tracey received news at her latest review that the cancer has metastasized into 3 different areas in her body and there were no treatments available here in Australia for her.

Tracey is a valued member of the community and dedicates her professional career to helping those most in need. But now she needs our help.

There is a Go Fund Me campaign in place to help raise money for her to access the treatment she requires overseas to give her quality of life. Any donation large or small would be of help and if you are unable to donate sharing this post is just as valuable.
