Shortly after her birth, Jasmine Grace Hallal was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy and Auditory Neuropathy (profound hearing loss). In May 2011 Jasmine underwent surgery to receive Cochlear Implants and has a long road ahead in terms of her hearing development, motor skill development and speech therapy. Unfortunately there is a significant gap between available funding and the expenses incurred by families with these requirements. Jasmine’s progress is fundamentally dependent upon the imperative & expensive special therapeutic support and equipment she needs for her continued development.

To help Jasmine with the best possible start to life there is a fundraising event on Saturday, July 9 at the Mt Eliza Community Hall that is endorsed by AFL premiership player Anthony Stevens.
