Viola Harms, long time advocate of the MJF, sadly passed away just before Christmas 2016. She was 92 years old. Grandmother to Melanie, Viola was an ardent supporter of our foundation, attending events as well as organising several fundraisers herself at the retirement village where she lived.

Viola asked that those attending her funeral might consider making a donation to the MJF in her memory. We are deeply grateful to Viola and her mourners for their incredibly generous contributions.

If you are interested in including The Melanie Jewson Foundation in your will or requesting that donations be made in lieu of flowers at your funeral, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

We remember Viola and give thanks.
