Talia Akkari, Sydney — The community is deeply saddened by the passing of Talia Akkari, who left us on Wednesday, July 3rd, 2024, at the tender age of 19. Talia bravely battled leukemia for nearly four years, enduring immense suffering with unwavering strength and hope.
Her journey ended in Malaysia, where she had traveled with her sister, Shannon, in a final attempt to find a cure. Despite their efforts and the hope that carried them, Talia succumbed to her illness after a brief view of the Malaysian beach, where she found her peace.
The Akkari family is now facing the heart-wrenching task of bringing Talia back home to Sydney for her final rest. A fundraiser organized by Michelle Hamilton and Danielle Pesa has been launched to help alleviate the financial burden on the family. The funds will cover the costs of flights, accommodation, and general living expenses as the family navigates this difficult time.
So far, the community has shown tremendous support, raising $4,968 out of the $15,000 goal. Notable donations include $500 from Sophie Akkari and $1,000 from George Dib. The first donation of $250 was made by Shell & Al Hamilton.
Messages of condolences and support have poured in on social media. Saada Doueihi expressed, "May her soul rest in peace," and Samira Bousalim Al-Ekhtiyar shared her heartfelt sorrow, mentioning how Talia was her beautiful cousin’s daughter who fought bravely until the end.
The memory of Talia Akkari will live on through the love and joy she brought to those around her. The community stands with the Akkari family, offering their support and prayers during this profoundly challenging time.
