Honoring Matilda’s Bright Light

Remembering Matilda a Bright Light Taken Too Soon in Bondi

Matilda was a bright, joyful, and spirited 10 year old who brought light to everyone around her. Her language teacher, Irina Goodhew, remembers her infectious energy and the happiness she shared with her classmates at the Harmony Russian School of Sydney. To her family, especially her aunt Lina, Matilda was the heart of their world.

This devastating loss has left an immeasurable void. While the grief is profound, Matilda’s laughter, kindness, and the love she gave will always be cherished. This fund is created not only in mourning, but in honor of the beautiful life she lived and the lasting impact she had on her community.

All donations will go directly to her mother and loved ones to help with funeral expenses, counseling, and the difficult road ahead. Your kindness is a way to honor Matilda’s memory and remind her family that they are not alone.
