THE late Joyce Heeraman as part of her wishes and to remember her legacy , through her Joyce Heeraman Estate gifted the Fiji Red Cross Society with $35,000 today.

In April, 2018 Ms Heeraman sought the services of the Fiji Public Trustee to draft her final wishes in the form of a will.

FPTCL’s Chief Executive Atonio Takalsa said she was originally from Trindad and Tobago and moved to Fiji in the 70’s.

Mr Takala on behalf of the late Ms Heeraman handed over the cheque to Fiji Red Cross Society’s Director General Filipe Nainoca today.

Mr Nainoca said they were honored and privileged that someone such as Ms Heeraman during the last few months of her life would choose to gift FRCS.
