THE FNQYAF LAUNCH A FUND for "Tobias Phineasa"
DONATIONS RECEIVE A RECEIPT FOR TAX DEDUCTION PURPOSES for Australian Tax Payers.

Donate today to the “Tobias Phineasa Fund” together we will make a difference in his family life.

At just 4.5 months old Tobias was diagnosed with Meningococcal Septicemia, an uncommon yet severe bacterial infection. Despite the prognosis, Tobias defied the odds and survived, however it has left him a quadruple amputee.
His journey is a testament to resilience, family, community, and he is thriving against all challenges.
The FNQYAF will be assisting Tobias and his family to meet all life challenges, to help with his constant care and growth.
Tobias will face battles far bigger than a child should ever have to face.
To Donate:
Download the donation form or nominate a Tobias Phineasa Fund via the Funds Website www.fnqyaf.org.au.

Congratulations.

Congratulations on another award! Emma has been so determined communicating via her eye-gaze system throughout the past couple of years that she is now using it for learning and engaging at a high level, showing what a smart cookie she is.
A massive and heartfelt Thankyou to Emma's teachers and support staff at MCC for the adjustments and creativity in supporting Emma's learning and to Dee for making eye-gaze communication way too much fun.
