Can You Help? Remembering Imogen

25 January, 2023 By Tamara 

Imogen

Imogen was a bright, determined, loving and sassy five year old who sadly grew her wings on Monday, 16th January due to the most tragic and unlikely event. 

Imogen’s Mum Sam, picked Imogen up from swimming lessons on the afternoon of the 16th. On the drive home, Imogen was happily eating a deli frankfurt (a favourite after swimming) and chatting away to her mum from the back seat, when she suddenly started choking. 

Despite Sam’s heroic efforts, ringing an ambulance, the help of a passer-by, and then driving Imogen to the hospital herself, the ambulance was too far away to make it in time, beautiful Imogen passed away later at the hospital. 

To make sense of such a tragic loss in such a way is inconceivable, there are no words that could accurately describe how shattered Imogen’s family are. It is Impossible to Imagine life without Imogen. 

My name is Tamara, as a close friend of the family I have started a Go Fund Me page in the hopes that I can raise enough to cover this beautiful little girl’s funeral for Sam and her husband Bill. 

Anyone that knows this couple knows that they are true Aussie battlers, always helping others. They would give the shirts off their backs, without a second thought should someone be in need. 

The burden of trying to find the money to pay for Imogen’s final resting place and a fitting celebration of her short life is a burden that I would like to remove for this family, while they deal with such an unthinkable tragedy. 

I know they will be eternally grateful for any assistance, big or small.

Many thanks
