🙏 30 headstones restored. 30 stories honoured. 30 families given peace.

We've reached an incredible milestone - the Headstone Healing Project has now restored 30 vandalised headstones, with 42 repaired in total when including families who stepped forward to restore their loved ones' graves.

To every donor, volunteer, business partner, and supporter who believed in this project - THANK YOU. Your generosity is bringing dignity back to those who built our region.

We still have a long way to go, but together we're proving that acts of destruction cannot break a community that cares.

💙 $75,000 raised | 100+ donations | More than 100 headstones still need our help.

Every donation over $2 is tax-deductible. Link in the comments below to contribute.

It's great to see friends chatting while decorating a Daisybox cardboard casket. Personalising a casket can be cathartic and special.

If you're at the Expo, you are welcome to write a message to your loved one or draw a design or picture.
