A Clyde North tradie has donated his time to building works for a charity home which will be auctioned for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
Kazir Oz, founder of his carpentry business, Calibre Co, was responsible for the internal lock up and fixing for the home.
According to Mr Oz, 34, it has been a humbling experience being part of such a worthwhile project.
“The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal is such a great cause who help thousands of children in need,” he said.
“As a child, I was a patient of the Royal Children’s Hospital where I had multiple surgeries to straighten my feet.
“While my two children have not been patients of the hospital, I know first-hand the great care and support children get at the hospital. It was an honour to give back to the hospital in this capacity.”
Going under the hammer in will be a stunning Sahara 38 with grand alfresco, by Henley Properties which is a 38 square, 4-bedroom home, located at 16 Domingo Avenue, Clyde North, which is part of Villawood’s boutique Delaray community.
The project initially started in 1993, when Henley committed to organise fundraising for The Appeal with the goal of raising $10,000.
The Henley Directors felt they could do something even bigger to help, and decided to build and donate a home instead, with every cent raised at auction being donated. The first home located in Timbarra Estate, Berwick went for $136,500, smashing the initial goal of a $10,000 contribution.
John Harvey, Henley managing director said, “In our 26th year of building and donating houses to the Good Friday Appeal, Henley is extremely proud in being associated with such an iconic Melbourne event, where 100 per cent of proceeds go directly to the Royal Children’s Hospital.”
“The entire Henley team is humbled by the continued generosity of our suppliers and tradespeople, who, year after year, donate their time to help create a stunning home to be auctioned off on Good Friday.”
