Dr Giulia Kitchin died of brain cancer before she could realise her dream — now, her husband has delivered on her legacy
Dr Russell Young has just finished restoring a cottage for homeless women to complete what his wife began.
GP Dr Giulia Kitchin was only part way through renovating a dilapidated cottage into a refuge for homeless women when she died of a brain tumour in January 2023.
But her dream has just become a reality after her husband, Dr Russell Young, finished the project in her honour, two years after her death.
The 130-year-old weatherboard cottage had been earmarked for demolition; it was on a block bought by the couple intended for car parking for Dr Young’s sports medicine clinic in Albany, WA.
“But then my wife had a good look at the house and said, ‘I would love to try to save this,'” Dr Young tells AusDoc.
