Sir Brian Bell Foundation in partnership with Meddent donated essential mobility equipment to Cheshire Homes to support individuals living with disabilities. Included in the donation were two wheelchairs, two walking trolleys, and two stair climbers which will be utilized by members of the community. In a special presentation last Friday, the items were officially presented by Meddent General Manager Todd McKenzie and Operations Manager Jessinta Wagambie, on behalf of both organizations. Accepting the donation was Cheshire Homes Disability Services General Manager, Gerald Bengesser. Cheshire Homes Disability Services General Manager, Gerald Bengesser said wheelchairs are much needed as people are always knocking on their doors asking if they have them. “Just yesterday, we gave a wheelchair to a 15-year-old boy who had walked all the way from 5 Mile. The standing chairs are incredibly useful too, especially for a few of our residents who rely on them for mobility,” he said. He also added there is a great need for this kind of equipment, and there simply isn’t enough of it available. “That’s why we’re incredibly thankful to Meddent and the Sir Brian Bell Foundation for their generosity and continued support,” he said. Sir Brian Bell Foundation and Meddent are delighted to be able to offer this support to Cheshire Homes. This donation highlights the ongoing efforts of both organizations to improve access to life-changing medical equipment and uplift vulnerable communities across Papua New Guinea.
