Nanaimo Unique Kids Organization has a new set of wheels thanks to the generosity of Variety – The Children’s Charity.
Bill Senghera, Variety’s Sunshine coach chairman, handed over the keys to a Sunshine coach to Rod and Debbie Gallant, the organization’s founders, to help transport children in comfort and safety to education, recreation and therapy sessions. Sunshine coaches are tailored to the needs of the recipients, with special equipment and hydraulic lifts for wheelchair passengers. Nanaimo Unique Kids Organization is a registered Canadian charity that supports the needs of children and youth with neuro-developmental disabilities such as autism and turrets, and their families. This is the second coach Variety has granted the organization. Since 1965, Variety – The Children’s Charity has raised more than $155 million in support of children and families in the province.
