Episode description
Eleven-year-old Valentine Mayerson has raised over $40,000 by creating and selling beaded bee bracelets to help the family of Matilda Brett Finn, the 10-year-old tragically killed in the 2024 Bondi terror attack. The bracelets, featuring a bee to honour Matilda's middle name, have become a global symbol of peace and remembrance, with nearly 3,000 sold across Australia, Europe, the US and Canada. Valentine aims to raise enough funds to send Matilda's family, including her younger sister Summer, to Disneyland.
