LOUISA DACOSTA

An unplanned event such as a heart attack, a stroke, a cancer can cause both financial and emotional stress. And for a person dependent on a Government pension such as a disability or aged pension life can become even more difficult. And if there is minimal family support the additional costs needed to help getting better can be beyond reach. Even with family support, financial help can become fractured. Jobs can be lost, a carer can suffer from a lack of time to do everything - sleep is the first casualty. Bills can pile up and remain unpaid. Louisa DaCosta Trust provides financial assistance for both unplanned illnesses and also for life long illnesses where Government support is not available.
