Charity in The Home Stretch
This year’s Good Friday Appeal auction home is ready to go under the hammer after receiving the tick of approval from three-year-old Royal Children’s Hospital regulars Kiani and Arlo.
Melbourne premiership player Ben Brown joined Arlo born with half his heart working leukemia patient Kiani and their parents to tour the Henley home at Villawood’s Alamora Estate, Tarneit and spend a day away from the hospital.
A small army of tradie volunteers and building materials donors came together to create the fully furnished home to go under the auctioneer’s gavel at the Charity Home No-Reserve Auction.
Kiani’s mum, Olivia Jarvis, said she was eternally grateful for the volunteers and companies that made the lifechanging auction possible.
“The generosity of companies like Henley and Villawood, as well as countless volunteer trades and suppliers who have given up their time, expertise and resources for such an important project, have a profound impact on families like ours,” she said.
