A GoFundMe campaign set up to support a local family has raised over $23,000 in the first day.

Jill Cousins was diagnosed with breast cancer and is about to start an aggressive treatment regime.

Jill’s husband Jaime died of cancer three years ago and this latest diagnosis is a huge blow for Jill and her four children Riley, Matisse, Finlay and Isla.

Friends Jacquie Penry and Briony McIntosh organised the fundraising campaign, hoping to raise $25,000 to help the family through this difficult time.

They said they’ve been overwhelmed by the generosity and support of the local community.

To support Jill and her children, go to www.gofundme.com.
