Help Us Reconnect with Family and Friends in Australia

Hello! We are the Butler - Brzeziński family, and we are reaching out to you with a heartfelt request. We are planning a trip back to Australia from mid-January to mid-February 2025 to visit our beloved family and friends. This trip is incredibly special to us, and we hope you can help make it possible.

Who We Are:

Andrew Butler-Breziński (me)

My wonderful wife, Agata

Our two lovely daughters, Laura (8 years old) and Sofia (5 years old)

Our Story:

I moved to Poland over 15 years ago to be with Agata, my wife. Since then, we’ve built a beautiful life together here, but our hearts remain connected to our family and friends in Australia. Our last visit was during Christmas time in December 2018, when Laura was just 2 years old. Now, at 8, she will have the chance to celebrate her birthday in Australia, surrounded by family and friends she hasn’t seen in years. Sofia, our youngest, will be experiencing Australia for the first time, and we can’t wait for her to meet everyone.

Why This Trip is Important?

Family Reunions: We will be traveling across the East Coast of Australia, visiting family members in Sydney, Batemans Bay, Lismore, and Queensland. This trip is all about reconnecting with our loved ones, catching up on lost time, and making new memories.

Celebrating Milestones: Celebrating Laura’s birthday in Australia will be a significant and memorable event for her and for us as a family.Building Bonds: Our children will have the chance to bond with their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. These are relationships we cherish deeply and want to strengthen.

How You Can Help:

We are raising funds to cover the cost of:

Airplane tickets

Travel insurance / Passports

Transportation to and from the airport in Poland / Europe and within Australia

Stay Updated:

We plan to create a blog where we will share our travel experiences, photos, and stories. This way, our donors can follow our journey and see the impact of their support firsthand. We will provide regular updates, from the planning stages to our adventures in Australia and the heartwarming reunions.

During our last visit to Australia, one of our fondest memories was celebrating Christmas with our family in Australia and with friends, on New Year's Eve. Laura, then just 2 years old, was mesmerized by the Christmas lights and the warmth of our family gatherings. This year, we hope to create even more beautiful memories, like watching Laura blow out her birthday candles surrounded by loved ones, and Sofia experiencing her first beach day in Batemans Bay.

Your support means the world to us. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to reuniting with our family and friends in Australia. Thank you for helping us make this dream a reality.
