Diane Haines the owner of Keen to Kleen, a valued client of ours is the founder and sponsor for the Noah Fenech Foundation.

The Noah Fenech Foundation was established in honour of Diane's dear nephew Noah Fenech recently diagnosed with Classic Autistic Disorder and significant development delays.

The diagnosis came as a shock to Noah's parents Simon & Alma and 9 month old sister Abigail whom now find themselves trying to cope with a 30-40 hour timetable of continuinual Applied Behavioural Analysis therapy including speech, and Occupational Therapy every week recommended to them by an organisation called C.A.R.D.(Caring for Autistic and Related Disorders) with a cost of over $1000.00 per week. This huge amount has become a struggle for the Fenech family to afford now that government financial support is drying up.

Solutions Outsourced will be supporting The Noah Foundation by attending a Movie Night at United Cinemas at Narellan Town Centre mid March. Ticket sales have since closed but keep your eyes and ears open for any upcoming fundraising events.

Ways you can help Noah:

• Cash Donations - will go directly from Noah's foundation account to his therapy lessons, knowing that
  every cent is benefiting the family directly with no hidden costs of administration fees etc.

• Gift Donations - will be raffled off at fundraising events held for Noah throughout the year.
  

• The Ultimate Donation - a small amount donated weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Something little that may not make such an impact on your lives together will make a big impact on this family.
   

All donations are tax deductable.

A person is remembered not for what they have but for what they give.

For some more information about The Noah Foundation have a read of this article written by Mark O'Brien from the Camden Advertiser.

We are a long time supporter of the Australian Red Cross at Solutions Outsourced with work place giving in place. During the Queensland floods we have been greatly impressed with their fast response during this sudden natural disaster. A lot goes into offering relief of such a large scale, and the Red Cross have been doing an amazing job managing the Evacuation Centres - one of the many aspects we all take for granted - accommodating those in need of shelter.

One of our business partners Spectrum have also done their bit, hosting the flood aid website: http://floodaid.com.au The site offers a discussion area for those in need and those with capability to connect to help rebuild the pieces.

For those who haven't been overloaded by the media take on this, take a look at this interesting before and after of Brisbane Floods as depicted by the ABC News. See an example on the left of the before and after.
