About this event
Story Bridge will be lit Teal and Gold to support Helena's HouseHelena McIlwain passed away on the 13th of October 2019 from a pulmonary embolism. Helena worked in disabilities while studying biomedical science at QUT. Her dream was to be in the medical world so she could help and support people with a disability. A house will be named in her honour. Helena's House, which is now being built through hard work and fundraising. A unique space where our young people will practice independent living skills and develop the emotional resilience needed to gradually transition from the family home to a life of their choice, with people they know. Helena's House will support our children's essential next step on their path to a more independent life - one that is safe, secure and guaranteed. This Light Up is organised by: Bestlife
