Mercy College students Noah Pemberton, Jennifer Huynh, Ahlawn Kengmual, Steven Tran, Amy Nguyen and Jasmine Huynh founded the PaMa Chi Grandparents Shop, based on an idea presented by Grandparents Rearing Grandchildren WA.
The group represents grandparents who are struggling to raise their grandchildren and using their pensions to provide them with basic necessities.
The PaMa Chi group came up with ideas to help, which they then proposed to the leadership team of Mercy College.
They raised $600 to buy toys and treats for grandchildren and held a morning tea on December 4 to hand the donations over.
