Taylor Goulding and Jarrod Walton, their daughter Makenzie and their families are facing a heartbreak that no family should ever have to endure.

At just 16 years old, Taylor and Bianca’s beloved little sister tragically and unexpectedly passed away following a sudden medical emergency.

This little family has already experienced more loss than most could imagine. After losing their mother several years ago, Taylor along with her partner Jarrod stepped up while still incredibly young themselves to care for and raise their little sister.

Their bond was so much more than that of sisters - Taylor and Jarrod have spent these past years loving, protecting and caring for her, and the loss they are now facing is unimaginable.

A fundraiser has been created to surround Taylor, Jarrod and their family with the same love and support that they have so freely given to those around them.

All funds raised will go directly towards helping them with funeral and memorial expenses, time away from work, travel and other unexpected costs that arise over the coming weeks and months.

Heidi was well known to the Hay, Leeton and surrounding areas, as well as Aboriginal communities and Jarrod is a Narrandera boy.
