The story behind my connection with Youngcare
16/01/2006 – My husband Fedor Stavast died in an aged care facility in The Netherlands, he was only 34. Fedor had crashed into a tree on his way to work on 16/12/2001. I was 7 months pregnant with our first child Isa. Fedor came out of his coma 100% paralyzed, with Locked-In Syndrome. All the amazing staff at the care facilities he has lived in were INCREDIBLE. However, being in an aged care facility was highly inappropriate for my husband, who was still young of heart and mind. After he died, Isa and I moved to Australia and we found Youngcare. We were at the opening of the first ever Youngcare appartments in Sinnamon Park, Brisbane. Nearly 20 years ago!
Youngcare is always close to our hearts, and to honor my forever Valentine Fedor, I have hosted my "A different kind of Valentine's Day" event. Saturday 14-02-2026. To raise funds and awareness for Youngcare and to give back to the local community. I did multiple inspirational talks about my journey, Fedor, my healing, my fun, crazy life…. and more. I came up with the idea for the event only a few weeks ago, and I pulled it off. Many could not come, and reached out to me that they want to donate to Youngcare. For this reason I created the fundraising page. The donations for Youngcare at the door were $69.30, let's see if we can get to at least $500 for Youngcare Australia! -Much love and many thanks, Mira.
Did you know... that too many young Australians with complex physical disabilities are being left behind, living without the choice and equality we all deserve? Youngcare is fighting for freedom, dignity, and choice for young people with high physical support needs, allowing them to choose where they live, who they live with, and how they live their lives. They achieve this by building specialist disability accommodation, providing life-changing grants, and running their free support line.
