Daniel and Tianna Richards world's turned upside-down when their youngest daughter and little sister of Arbree, Billie Grace Richards fell ill.

Shortly after being flown to Sydney Children's Royal Hospital Billie was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a type of cancer that affects your blood and bone marrow.

On October 23, 2021, Billie Grace lost her battle due to Alpha Hemolytic Streptococcus and Pneumonia.

Although no words or actions could take the pain away, friends, family and loved ones are getting behind the Richards family.

Friend Paige Dacey created a GoFundMe Page to accumulate funds for the family to help alleviate financial burdens on top of what is already a heartbreaking time.

"The immediate heartbreak that Daniel, Tianna and Arbree experienced was beyond what any of us could imagine," Miss Dacey said.

"To have a healthy little girl, to no longer having her earthside within a matter of three days, the pain they are going through and will continue to battle through as a family is significant and difficult.

"I am calling on for donations to help their family with costs of living, school fees, utility bills and ongoing costs to be able to allow them to grieve within their time and right without the financial burdens of stressing about finances and bills.

"The last thing both mum and dad of Billie should have to think about is going back to work to make ends meet while they process and navigate through this difficult time."

The GoFundMe page so far has raised more than $3,000 for the family.
