READ NOWThe bake sale raised $110 towards Mr Ariff’s dream of visiting Queensland on a holiday later this year.
‘Why should Immy be disadvantaged and not able to go on holiday just because of his disability,’ she said.
‘Having a disability shouldn’t stop somebody being able to enjoy all the fun of a holiday, especially to the Gold Coast.’
