Max: gifted a miniwalk by Variety NT

Every kid should dance in the rain. When people ask how Max’s walker helps him, I always answer with a list of the therapeutic benefits it offers him.

‘It builds up his muscle strength’

‘His gait pattern has improved a lot’

‘We hope all the practice will help him to learn to walk independently’

Stella: gifted a defibrillator from Variety NT

This Grant has made a difference in the life style of Stella as Stella now has an emergency defibrillator that can be used when her heart needs it.  Defibrillators assist by re-stetting the heart.  This piece of equipment is a life saving tool that will save her life.

Reggie: gifted a Squiggles seating system

We can never thank you enough for the work you do for a lot of families and my family especially. The squiggles for Reginald has been so very helpful. We are able to move around anyway knowing  and trusting that he is comfortable and happy.
