Subway supports charitable dream14th September 2010
Jason Sandford-Bell, who operates six Subways on the Coast, said there was a consensus that Noosa-based Frangipani Dreams operated by Moy Sweetman was standout.
When the Sunshine Coast Subway food franchises were looking for a worthy local cause to “give a kick along” one just seemed to have its heart in the right place.
Jason Sandford-Bell, who operates six Subways on the Coast, said there was a consensus that Noosa-based Frangipani Dreams operated by Moy Sweetman was standout.
“Frangipani Dreams was a name that kept coming up among the Subways here and my wife had heard a lot of good things about Moy,” Jason said.
He said Moy’s dedication to helping others after she received a life-saving kidney transplant has become inspirational.
What started out as a simple payback with 45 Christmas hampers in 2002 has magnanimously morphed into granting wishes to the terminally ill or disadvantaged people and to highlighting the efforts of people like swimmer Ian Thorpe improve the prospects of indigenous people.
This Christmas, Frangipani Dreams aims to deliver 1500 hampers across the Coast.
Families with people in need of special care – be it troubled youth, abused women, HIV patients, people with mental illness or those at the Noosa and Nambour oncology units on life support.
Which is Moy’s lot again these days as she waits positively for a second donor kidney.
Before arriving at Subways to launch the Frangipani collection boxes to cover the Coast to Gympie, she was again having the dialysis hook-up she needs to keep her going.
“It’s coming, I can feel it in my bones,” Moy said.
In the meantime Frangipani Dreams has expanded its services to Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Port Macquarie, Byron Bay, Yeppon, Gracemere, Port Douglas and Mossman.
Jason said locally Subway was looking to help provide a bus to take 30 to 40 nominated kids down to Australia Zoo as part of the imoortant charitable hook-up.
They are also working on a day when the sale of all foot-long subs will see a $1 donation flow through to Frangipani Dreams.
