Back in May 2014, we were approached by award winning building company – D.A. Burke builders to assist in the renovation/modification of a home to assist a family in Batemen affected by Rett Syndrome.

This project has now started and we are proud to be to help by providing a skip bin for the duration of the project at little cost.

What is Rett Syndrome?

Addison suffer from Rett Syndrome which is a development disorder found mainly in girls.  A child with Rett Syndrome will usually be born healthy and then a 6-18 months there is a stagnation in skills and development.  The most severe aspect of Rett Syndrome is the inability of the body to perform movement.

The current bathroom in Addison’s house is completely unsuitable for someone with a disability and a renovation is one step in making life easier for her family.  The entire bathroom renovation has been made possible by generous donations of time, goods and services.

The type of modification which will assist Addison and her family includes:

• a stepless shower base.  This shower base  will allow for easy wheelchair access as well as extra space for assistance;
• a showerseat to improve access and safety and
• grab rails for added balance and support.

All the waste from the bathroom renovation will be placed into one of our skip bins and taken away once the project is finished.

If you would like to be involved with this project please call us on 93317271 or D.A. Burke builders on 9582 9977.

We wish Addison and her family all the best for the future.
