From Perth to Paris — how one donation turned into a life-changing adventure.
For Joan, supporting meaningful causes through My Charity Raffle was something she felt deeply passionate about. Living in Perth, she regularly entered charity raffles to give back — never expecting that her generosity would lead to a once-in-a-lifetime Emily in Paris–inspired luxury trip to Paris.
What began as a simple act of giving became an unforgettable journey filled with friendship, connection, and magic in the City of Light.
From Perth to the Heart of Paris
Joan discovered My Charity Raffle on social media and loved the idea of supporting Australian charities while having the chance to win incredible experiences.
The day she received the call confirming she had won the Emily in Paris experience was surreal — a moment she describes as life-changing.
Without hesitation, she chose to share the adventure with her dear friend Florence. Together, they embarked on a Parisian escape celebrating friendship, exploration, and embracing life fully.

For Joan and Florence, Paris became more than a destination.
It became a celebration of connection and intention — a reminder that generosity has ripple effects far beyond what we imagine.
As Joan shared:
“From the bottom of my heart, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the My Charity Raffle family, Sarah Quinn, Lisa, and the entire team both in Australia and Paris for making the Emily in Paris experience win not just a dream come true, but a soul-stirring journey that has truly changed my life and the life of my dear friend Florence.
Winning this prize was about so much more than travelling to Paris. It was about connection, purpose, magic, and beautiful new beginnings. From the moment I received that life-changing call on May 29th, to standing outside Gabriel’s restaurant, to laughing with new friends in the streets of Paris and being photographed at the Eiffel Tower, every moment was filled with joy and deep intention.”
