emembrance Day 2014 is a time to again remember those who served our country in the Defence Forces—many of whom died on the battlefield or subsequently.  As Australians we are grateful for the sacrifices made both by those who have gone before as well as the families left behind.
Legacy was established nearly 90 years ago to help bridge the gap left when the digger was no longer there to support his family. While the Great War and WWII are now many years ago, Legacy nationally currently still supports some 100,000 families (many of whom are elderly widows). Importantly however there are also an increasing number of younger widows with children that are very grateful of how Legacy helps them. Legacy provides a range of assistance depending on the circumstances of the individual family, this can include things like help with power bills, assistance with school fees and uniforms for children, helping families cope with bereavement and loss, advocating for pension and other entitlements, providing a personal point of contact etc. With limited help from government, Legacy very much appreciates the generosity of the public in helping it continue to assist families of incapacitated and deceased veterans.
