In this deeply moving episode of the Do Good Podcast, we meet Sarah Marco, a woman whose story is shaped by both profound loss and extraordinary purpose.
Born in the UK and now calling Sydney home for over two decades, Sarah’s world was turned upside down just days before the events of October 7 attacks, when she tragically lost both of her parents on the same day. While navigating unimaginable grief, the unfolding crisis in Israel ignited something deeply personal within her.
Her connection to Israel runs through her very roots. Her parents met there in 1967, volunteering in the aftermath of the Six-Day War. So when history echoed once again, Sarah instinctively knew where she needed to be.
Within months, Sarah and her sister arrived at Ben Gurion Airport and immersed themselves in service. From working on farms to supporting hospitals, hosting barbecues for soldiers, and partnering with initiatives like Citrus and Salt, they gave their time, energy, and hearts to those on the front lines.
But what truly defines Sarah’s journey is not just what she did, it is how she did it.
In hospital wards and rehabilitation centres, she sat with injured soldiers, listening, sharing, and connecting. What emerges from her story is something far deeper than volunteering. It is healing in its fullest sense. Healing for the soldiers. Healing for a nation. And healing for herself.
Despite carrying immense personal pain, Sarah radiates warmth, humour, and perspective. She speaks about her four trips to Israel since October 7 not as sacrifice, but as something profoundly restorative, describing it simply as:
“Doing a favour for your soul.”
This episode is a powerful reminder of the human capacity to turn grief into meaning, and pain into purpose. Expect laughter, tears, and a story that will stay with you long after it ends.
