Thirteen apprentices and nine maintenance employees from Bengalla teamed up with the mine’s local suppliers to renovate the Ballards’ two-bedroom home.
The Ballards’ plans to better accommodate their three growing children and improve wheelchair access for the youngest child Jake, who has cerebral palsy, were put on hold when father Garry was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2009, tragically passing this year.
To give the family some assistance before Christmas, the Bengalla team installed ramps and handrails around the home and completed day-to-day maintenance and electrical tasks, replaced flooring and ceiling sheeting and blitzed the backyard.
Thank you to the following suppliers for their donations and support – Muswellbrook Steel Supplies, O’Brien Glass, Scott Collins Concreting, MMS engineering, CHC Solutions, Muswellbrook Electrical, Migas and Remondis.
