Where forever love lives on
QUATRE CAFE
QUATRE Café opened in July 2022 to honour Veronique Sakr who was tragically killed, along with her three cousins - Antony, Angelina and Siennah Abdallah – on a fateful night on February 1 2020 at Oatlands by a drunk and drugged driver.
Quatre is a French word for ‘four’ and we made it as a placename to remind us of Veronique’s love and passion for cooking, eating and engaging with people.
Our Love Wall inside the Café is dedicated to these four children we deeply love but lost in horri c circumstances beyond our belief.
The Love Wall also allows our community to honour the loved ones they too have lost in similar or other circumstances by pinning a photograph of their loved ones on the wall.
Through the Love Wall, we can continue the bonds between us beyond physical death because we believe heartfelt love lives on forever.
The Café has also become a
gathering place where people come together to share a co ee and quality meals with their family, friends and neighbours in a friendly, relaxed and warm environment.
Some of the pro ts from the Café are directed to supporting Bridget Sakr’s charity called Heartfelt, which is an online community created to support people experiencing grief and loss.
The Veronique Sakr Scholarship at Santa Sabina College where Veronique was a student, has been initiated through funding from the Café to support the education of a young girl at the College.
This year, we are proud to announce that Deanna Miloni is the scholarship recipient.
