Alison Druitt, who is on a disability pension, lovingly tends to her garden, but recently her plants were torn out and Mrs Druitt was without funds to replace them.

‘Despite our best efforts, we were not able to source a voluntary group to assist Alison for some time,’ Mrs Harvey said. ‘So we are thrilled Australian Mercy was able to organise the Year 9 students from Southern Hills Christian College, who have so generously given their time to help Alison.’
