Rebecca has a professional background in early childhood education and local government community services. She visits Israel regularly to spend time with her daughter Elysa and her two young granddaughters, Livi Lola and Emmie Dora. Rebecca was deeply saddened by the loss of her first granddaughter, born without breath in 2016, in Tel Aviv. She was dismayed by the lack of mental health support services for families after pregnancy and infant loss. Rebecca is committed to fundraising and establishing a comprehensive, national Israeli pregnancy and infant loss support organisation.
