Penny Fletcher

Written by The Principal | 29 July 2010

Penny Fletcher: Many parents will be aware that one of our mothers Penny Fletcher was last year struck down with Meningitis. Against all odds and after having both her legs amputated below the knee and some of her fingers amputated, Penny survived.

Unfortunately for Penny her battles are by no means over. She is determined to be independent and to live as normal a life as possible, but to achieve this she needs financial assistance to make her house wheelchair friendly and to cover ongoing medical costs. Penny’s disability is not covered by ACC.

C.S.N.S. parents are invited to join with the staff in making a donation to Penny and her children. Contributions can be made at the Office.
