FIFTEEN families confronting breast cancer this Christmas were surprised at their door with a festive hamper prepared by Belmont Forum on behalf of Breast Cancer Care WA.
Shopping centre staff hand delivered the hampers filled with personalised gifts including fresh food, toys and vouchers valued over $200.
“The festive season can be a difficult time of year for many families and when you are also going through breast cancer, those effects are felt even more,” Breast Cancer Care WA General Manager Jillian Shiels said.
