When 11-year-old Veronique Sakr died in a car crash alongside her three cousins, the lives of two families changed forever. As Christmas approaches, here’s how one couple is giving back.

Called Quatre, French for four, the cafe honours four young people killed in a horrific car crash outside a western Sydney golf course nearly four years ago. Greeting guests is Bridget Sakr, the mother of 11-year-old Veronique, who died alongside her three cousins when a car mounted the kerb in the suburb of Oatlands.
