Keira Whitehead passed away in 2019 from a very rare cancer of the trachea and is remembered as an outgoing girl who loved life.
Since Keira’s passing, her mother Wendy Chesworth and Melany Essam have been trying to find a way to honour her memory.
After Wendy’s initial plan to memorialise Keira through a ball was thrown out due to COVID-19, Wendy and Melany decided on creating merchandise, this is where Kisses for Kez came to fruition.
“We decided to create merchandise in memory of Kez while also raising money for Ronald McDonald House.” They said.
Wendy and Melany chose to donate all money raised to Ronald McDonald House.
“Because they help families in hard times stay close to their sick children.”
At this stage they have organised jumpers, hats and beanies with jumper sizes ranging from XS to 5XL.
At the moment hats are available to purchase while jumpers will arrive later this week and beanies in the next few weeks.
Both Wendy and Melany are looking at holding a raffle where they will also be selling the merchandise.
Anyone wishing to buy some merchandise is asked to contact the ‘Kisses for Kez’ Facebook page and inbox your order or phone or text your order to Wendy on 0428 863 050.
