Subscriber only Debbie Myers started at Bloomhill Cancer Care as a receptionist volunteering one day a week in 2007. So impressed with the work the vital service in Buderim did, Ms Myers quit working in her family business to do more with Bloomhill. Ms Myers travelled to the US to train in advanced lymphoedema therapy before returning to Bloomhill as a lead therapist. Her passion to go above and beyond and bring a personal touch for her clients is what led to her winning the Gold Star award. The Gold Star award honours all service superstars who give 100 per cent in their roles, from friendly hospitality staff to generous mechanics.
Ms Palmer nominated Mrs Debono for the award and said her business, which helps to take care of the elderly, would ve shut down if it wasn t for her. She understood how important it was to take care of the elderly and without her doing this I would not have been in the situation I am today looking after so many elderly clients and with a successful business, she said. Honestly (my) business would have shut down if I didn t have the help of Kellie, a total stranger who took in my kids for free so I could continue look after the most vulnerable.
12th May 2021 12:00 PM The first winner has been announced. Now it s time to find the Coast s next Gold Star. Glass House Vet nurse Emma Richard who took home the award last week said being recognised meant so much . You don t do it for accolades, you certainly don t do it for money ⦠but just having someone say I appreciate you , it means so much, she said at the time. Now it s time to share the love even further and say thanks to another resident who goes over and beyond with their work. Whether it s the barista serving you a coffee with a smile on their face every day or your mechanic not charging you for a service, the Coast is full of good people.
