Tanya Noble Project

Written By Cristy Houghton

The Toyota Commuter Bus with the Ricon wheelchair lift was delivered to Tanya Noble and her family on Thursday 1st May 2008.  Paul and Gail Noble are so relieved to have the convenience of being able to transport Tanya themselves; Tanya is on top of the world knowing that she can now have her electric wheelchair (her independence) with her if she has to go into hospital (just one example); the family can now enjoy outings together as a whole new world of opportunity has opened up.

Members of the family have repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Lions and to Coast Community Care who we worked with to make this project happen.

The total project required around $55,000. The Coast Community Care local fund raising effort raised $30,000, Lions Clubs from Zone 1 participated with a total contribution of $6,000, Australian Lions Foundation provided a grant of $9,345.

Lions NSW-ACT Public Health Care Foundation provided $10,000.00

The project has been a great collaboration between the community, local business, local Lions Clubs, a NSW-ACT Foundation and an Australian Foundation.
