Thanks to Steph

Rest Peacefully Steph,


Every so often we get an email that stops us in our tracks. Today was one of those days. Stephanie Andrews (Steph)  lived with Disability and was supported by YellowBridge QLD for 15 years.


She endured many struggles during her lifetime and we've just been told that in the early days she would have really benefited from being able to access the services of organisations like Protea Place and what we have to offer.


She was an advocate for supporting vulnerable women and giving them hope, knowing that there is a better life for them. Steph had wanted to become a volunteer at Protea Place however she did not get this opportunity as she passed away from Cancer in December 2023.


Stephs photo will be placed in Protea Place along with other women who have passed but who leave a lasting legacy of care to their community.


Thank you Steph, we'll miss your big smile!

Happy International Women's Day 2025 from Millmerran! Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day with the Millmerran Collective and community, filled with incredible generosity! We are beyond excited to announce that they raised an overwhelming $45,000 towards our Protea Place Women’s Accommodation Project! This brings our total to a remarkable $941,061, bringing us even closer to purchasing a property in 2025 to provide safe haven for vulnerable women in our region.
