One of the few Hire Car Companies in the region has donated four wheel chairs and K500 cheque to a family living with disability.

Gernic Car Hire took the initiative to assist the disable at this time of Christmas.

Businessman Gerard Habitein and his family handed the wheel chairs and the cheque to the disable on Saturday, Christmas day.

The three brothers and their sister are from Hangan village. They have lived with disability since their teenage.

Their mother Maria Hamos received the donations with tears of joy and she was lost for words in thanking Mr Habitein and his family.

The wheel chairs were bought from Callan Services at a cost of K1500.

Business woman Nicole Habitein says Callan Services offered the wheel chairs for free, however, the company gave K1000.

Mrs Habitein says K500 was paid as freight charge for the wheel chairs which were shipped to Buka.

She says the company’s aim is to reach out to the needy as Christmas is a time of sharing and giving.
