One man’s legacy,
Leaving a gift in your Will.
You can make a profound change to the life of someone with low vision or blindness.
When Hubie Morris was matched with Guide Dog Halda in 1960, he became the first Queenslander to receive a Guide Dog. It was a partnership that gave Hubie greater independence, and he wanted others to experience that same freedom.
Determined to make a difference, Hubie rallied supporters in Townsville and planted more than 7,000 gerberas. Together they sold the flowers, raising funds so more Queenslanders could be partnered with life-changing Guide Dogs.
What began with one man, one Guide Dog and thousands of flowers grew into a legacy that continues today.
Thousands of Queenslanders have since gained greater confidence, independence and opportunity through Guide Dogs. Every Guide Dog partnership, every Orientation and Mobility lesson, and every family supported is possible because of generous people who choose to create a brighter future for others.
Hubie’s story reminds us that changing lives often begins with one act of kindness.
By including Guide Dogs Queensland in your Will, you can help ensure future generations experience the same freedom and independence that inspired Hubie more than 65 years ago.
Be like Hubie. Leave a legacy that changes lives.
From family legacy to lasting impact
Annette’s connection with Guide Dogs Queensland is deeply personal. It is one that spans generations and one that now has many touch points across the organisation.
As a child, Annette fondly remembers seeing Guide Dogs tea towels proudly displayed in her Grandmother’s home. Years later, as an adult, Annette had the honour of carrying out her uncle’s wish of leaving a gift to Guide Dogs in his Will. His generosity not only created a lasting impact but also inspired Annette to become more involved in the organisation in many ways. Annette now volunteers at events representing Guide Dogs in the community and lends a hand at the Bald Hills campus in a variety of volunteering roles.
“Knowing that what you’re doing really matters, and that you’re part of an organisation that genuinely cares is something that really stands out to me,” Annette shares.
