And it’s all thanks to the community.
The latest business to come on board for the project is Echuca Metaland, with Trina and Peter Godfrey donating the steel for the roofing of the house and two units.
“We’ve donated to causes around town in the past and we thought this year, rather than a lot of small ones, we’d do one big one to benefit CLRS,” Peter said. “It was a bit personal because we have a friend who is now wheelchair bound and they received a lot of assistance.
“Life can change in an instant, so it’s good to know there is someone there, such as the amazing services we have access to in Echuca-Moama, providing assistance.”
Peter said Metaland’s donation would not have been possible without the support from its major suppliers, such as Bluescope Steel Lysaght.
The Maiden St project will provide independent living for five people with disability, with multiple individuals and businesses around the district fundraising toward the project.
CLRS chief executive Suzanna Barry said the building stage was progressing well and was a further demonstration of what the twin towns community can achieve together.
With time quickly running out until Johnno’s Run in Melbourne on July 28, it’s just the motivation the Echuca-Moama community needed.
