Something beautiful happened under the Jacaranda Tree at Toowong Village this year.

What started as a simple invitation to share messages of hope became a powerful reminder of how community care can bloom in unexpected places.

For every heartfelt message left hanging from the tree’s branches—words of encouragement for cancer patients, notes of gratitude to our dedicated staff and volunteers—Toowong Village generously donated five dollars to Wesley Choices Cancer Support Centre.

The response was overwhelming. Messages of hope fluttered like purple blossoms, each one carrying the love and support of strangers who understood that sometimes a few kind words can make all the difference.

These aren’t just messages on paper—they’re lifelines reaching people when they need it most.

Wesley Choices provides expert advice, support and care at no cost to anyone affected by cancer, regardless of where they’re being treated. This beautiful initiative helps ensure these vital services continue.
