The Enosi Association raised over $73,000 at the Hope for Mariah fundraiser on Saturday, March 4 at the Stars International Reception in Preston, Victoria.
The fundraiser was held for 8-year-old Mariah who was born premature at 23 weeks and five days, weighing just over 500grams. Ten days after she was born, baby Mariah picked up an E. coli superbug, leading to a bleed on a part of her brain where she would develop Dystonic Cerebral Palsy.
The funds raised will provide financial support for Mariah’s therapy, mobility and accessibility equipment.
In a post on Facebook, Vice President of the Enosi Association, Tina Minas, thanked everyone for making the fundraiser possible.
“It was a united effort by all who contributed in many ways,” Ms Minas said. “Together we have made a difference to Mariah and her family.”
