April 15, 2017

Erin’s first introduction to Sunnyfield was through a friend she met at her mother’s group. Erin was then invited to a lunch at her friend’s workplace, where she met Caroline Cuddihy (the CEO of Sunnyfield) and the mother of a Sunnyfield client. During the lunch, Erin learnt all about Sunnyfield and the way it creates choice, opportunities and independence for people with disability. “The stories about how Sunnyfield helps its clients was moving and inspirational,” Erin says.

From that day, Erin was inspired to generously support Sunnyfield by making donations and getting her workplace involved. Erin is a partner at the law firm Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF), where she arranged for her workplace to participate in a Sunnyfield charity golf day.

“The stories about how Sunnyfield helps its clients was moving and inspirational. Sunnyfield is a caring, supportive and worthy charity.”

When Erin chose to become a Friend of Sunnyfield by kindly making a regular donation, her motivation stemmed from the family oriented nature of Sunnyfield. “I loved that Sunnyfield was started by passionate families,” she recalls, “Sunnyfield is a caring, supportive and worthy charity.” Her message to other supporters considering becoming a Friend of Sunnyfield is, “Just do it! Set up a monthly donation and feel good about supporting people with disability.”
