A young woman who lives in a Care Home required her own modified wheelchair accessible vehicle due to her unique medical needs.  Through the support of her advocacy group, WA Charity Direct assisted with the final funds to purchase a suitable vehicle.

On referral from Therapy Focus, WA Charity Direct learnt of a Mum and her young daughter who required a wheelchair accessible vehicle.  The daughter who is permanently dependant on a wheelchair, attends several medical appointments each week, so a suitable vehicle was urgently required.  WA Charity Direct provided the final funds for the family to purchase a suitable vehicle.

A regional family dealing with treatment for Blood Cancer, requested help from WA Charity Direct in a practical way – food vouchers and payment of utility invoices.  During the 12-week chemotherapy treatment period, the recipient was unable to work making it difficult to manage household expenses.  WA Charity Direct alleviated the financial pressure by clearing the expenses during this stressful time.

Public transport was becoming increasingly difficult for a local family who required numerous medical and community appointments  on a weekly basis.  WA Charity Direct assisted by providing a portion of the funds to purchase a suitable second hand vehicle.

On referral from a Member, WA Charity Direct assisted a Warnbro Family with driveway modifications to the family home. The driveway required widening to allow for improved access into the house and car to accommodate for the young daughter’s wheelchair.

WA Charity Direct provided 3 months mortgage repayments to give the Morgan Family some financial breathing space, whilst both Parents had to temporarily stop work due to receiving medical treatment for ongoing conditions.

A heartwarming thanks from the Family was received:

‘My wife and I would like to thank all involved at WA Charity Direct.  Your generosity is above and beyond anything we have previously experienced, and it has touched us both very deeply.  We were very worried about losing the house, and then not having to worry about making the mortgage repayments for a period of time was such a relief.  Please pass on my thanks to all the team, your work really does make a difference to peoples lives and I am not sure what would have happened with out your generous help and support.’ Morgan Family, February 2017.
