Mother’s Day may have been days ago, but one day is never enough to celebrate the incredible women shaping families, communities, businesses, and lives across Australia.🥰
Each day this week, we’re sharing stories of inspiring Australian mums who have made a real impact through strength, resilience, kindness, and determination. 💪
For 14 years, Ballarat mum Kerrie Franc has devoted her life to caring for her daughter Pippa, who lives with Williams syndrome.💕
From sleepless nights and hospital visits to celebrating every small milestone, Kerrie’s journey has been filled with challenges, sacrifice, and unconditional love.
Despite the constant worry that comes with caring for a child with complex needs, Kerrie says her daughter has brought endless joy, kindness, music, laughter, and love into their lives. 🤍
We honour mothers like Kerrie, the women whose strength is often unseen, whose love never stops, and whose care shapes the lives of the people around them every single day.👏👏
