College push to raise funds for wheelchairs

Staff ReporterMandurah Coastal Times

The St Monica’s House students will push wheelchairs to raise money to help fund wheelchairs donated to children injured in war-torn countries.

In the past nine years, students have raised more than $30,000.

The money goes to Wheelchairs for Kids, which is overseen by Brother Ollie Picket and involves a Mandurah Rotary club. It involves more than 100 retired men building wheelchairs in Wangara.

Each recipient gets a wheelchair, a fluffy toy (also collected by the students) and a knee rug.
