Hi everyone,
As many of you know, I have spent the last 10 weeks in Hobart supporting my daughter, Olivia, in the fight for her life and as she recovers from the catastrophic injuries she suffered in April.
While our family has been focused on getting Olivia through each day, we have now been dealt another devastating blow.
Sometime over the past few weeks (and we suspect possibly within the last few days) someone broke into my photography studio on Reibey Street in Ulverstone. Not only was property stolen, but the studio was completely ransacked. What was a place of creativity, passion, and hard work was left damaged and vandalised.
If anyone saw anything suspicious, heard anything, or has any information at all, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please contact the police.
Anyone who has experienced a break-in will understand the overwhelming sense of violation that comes with it. It is heartbreaking to pour your heart, soul, time, and energy into building something you love, only to have someone enter and destroy it without a second thought.
Right now, our family is already carrying more than we ever imagined possible. We are asking once again for your prayers, support, and kindness as we navigate yet another challenge.
Please pray that those responsible are identified, that justice is served, and that some of the stolen property can be recovered.
Thank you to everyone who continues to stand beside us. Your support means more than words can express.
Melainne.
