CURRENT MAJOR PROJECT FINALIZED
Lions Club of Balgowlah is one of several Lions Clubs in Sydney who with the help of the Australian Lions Foundation and Lions NSW-ACT Sight and Health have raised funds to purchase a wheelchair adapted vehicle for Cerebral Palsy Alliance. This wheelchair will be for the exclusiveuse of Ms Kate Agnihotri for her six year old daughter Kareena Agnihotri.
We did it! Eight Lions clubs combined with Australian Lions Foundation to buy this wheelchair adapted vehicle for Cerebral Palsy Alliance/Kate Agnihotri for Kate’s daughter Kareena. The handover was held at Integrity Car Sales and Rentals Brookvale on Wednesday 10th June. Kate said “I was really excited when Lions said they’d help out with the fund raising which means Kareena can get out and about now. We weren’t able to do long trips with all of her equipment we had so this makes it easier for me to transport her to medical appointments. It’s been life changing.”
Kareena, 6, suffers from Cerebral Palsy, quadriplegia, and epilepsy. She is also legally blind and is tube fed.
“The main thing is I want her to feel happy and loved every day. She’s a very happy girl, I feel blessed to have her.
She has such an innocent soul and she’s changed my life and my perspective.”
CEO Cerebral Palsy Alliance Paul Henderson said ” It was a nice feeling to be able to do something like that for the family. It will make a huge difference to the mother and the little girl and will make life that much easier for them”.
The Lions clubs involved are Balgowlah, Blacktown Ponds, Bondi, Frenchs Forest, Manly, Mosman,Parramatta, and St Ives.
