Mr Best said Audrey had struggled to maintain her 3035sq m block since her husband died three years ago.
“Her eldest son lives three hours away and her other son has a child with serious disability so they are unable to help their mum much,” he said.
“It’s been a pleasure to be able to help her out and see the community pull together for a worthy cause.”
