Sisters doing it for others

Ella Francis is proud of her art.

When Mia Francis was three years old she was rushed to the Royal Children’s Hospital for emergency surgery.

Fortunately Mia made a full recovery, but the Francis family has never forgotten the care and support she received while in hospital.

For the past three years, the Ocean Grove family, led by Mia’s sister Hayley, has held an art show to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

It was Hayley’s idea to draw and sell pictures to raise money to say thank you for treating her sister, but now Mia and Ella have joined in.

The art show is held at their home and this year Hayley, 13, Mia, 9, and Ella, 7, raised a whopping $4554 for the appeal.
