Westward bound: Dominica’s Daughters of the West journey ignites community spirit
Inner-West, where the rhythm of daily life echoes the diverse heartbeats of family life, a remarkable story of personal transformation and community-minded dedication unfolds.
Domenica, known affectionately as 'Dom' to her friends and 'Mum' to her teenagers, embarked on a 10-week journey with Daughters of the West that has spurred her on from the living room couch, in pursuit of opportunities to make a tangible difference in the community.
Dom’s path to the Daughters of the West program was inspired by her husband's positive experiences with the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation’s Sons of the West program.
