Brisbane, October 3 (MCCQ Newsdesk)
The Multicultural Communities Council Gold Coast (MCCGC) has once again highlighted the strength of compassion and community through a recent experience in its Culture in Mind program.
The program team supported a client living with a mental health condition and terminal metastatic melanoma, who was struggling to maintain his home as his health declined. Despite efforts to find local services offering free cleaning support, no options were available.
In response, Adriana from the Culture in Mind team reached out through a Brazilian community Facebook group seeking help. The appeal received an overwhelming response, with two women volunteering their time to clean the client’s home at no cost.
Their act of kindness, offered without expectation of reward or recognition, reflected the spirit of solidarity that defines the multicultural community on the Gold Coast. The story stands as a reminder of how compassion and collective action can make a real difference in times of need.
