The book of life
By Yacine Khouzami

bosses. It is often easy to forget and put-off

name of Vicki Haigh decided to make it her
mission to help those trying to live independently in their own homes. She created

and pharmacists, home help maintenance and

cater to around 20 suburbs for those living
in and around the Moreton Bay region. These
include Caboolture to Beerwah, Beachmere
to Bribie Island, Morayfield, Narangba to
Redcliffe and out to Woodford.
