Recently, Mouths of Mums teamed up with Zurich to launch the MoMs helping Mums campaign, designed to help out mums who needed a helping hand. Mums from all across Australia nominated their mum friends who had been in an accident, had experienced the death of a loved one or simply needed help from someone who
understands.

We were overwhelmed by the response from mums who wanted to help out other mums. We laughed, we cried, and we empathised with all the mums’ stories. A big thank you to all our mums and their friends who shared. After careful selection by Zurich, we can now proudly announce the special mums to whom Zurich will lend a helping hand.

Introducing the mums Zurich is going to help out:

Unfortunately, Toni’s daughters are also sick – one has needed a liver transplant, and her other daughter was on life support for the entire month of December 2010 and not expected to live…

Robyn's Story

Late last year Robyn’s husband Tim passed away after long battles with leukaemia, thyroid cancer and cardiomyopathy. Tim was stable for the next few years and luckily they naturally conceived their first child. They were placed on the heart transplant waiting list and Tim received his amazing gift of second life March 2006, while Robyn was pregnant with their second son. They never thought that he would meet his son. Robyn and her family were lucky enough to have Tim home after a long hospital stay in Sydney when it happened.
