Georgia's paying it forward

COLLIE woman Georgia Moloney is paying it forward through a fundraiser at the Collie Italian Club tomorrow night.

She was offered a fundraiser to help with ongoing expenses resulting from severe injuries after she was struck down by a vehicle outside the Crown Hotel in 2020.

Police said the efforts of two 19-yearold bystanders helped save her life before emergency services including police and ambulance officers worked together to deal with the scene.

Georgia was airlifted to Perth and admitted to the Royal Perth Hospital intensive care ward in a critical condition.

The Collie community rallied to support Georgia and her family, with a fundraising appeal which raised a considerable sum.

When offered a fundraiser by the Italian Club recently, Georgia decid- ed to donate the funds to local charity Heart Hub as a thank you to the Collie community for all the support she has received over the past couple of years.

“Heart Hub benefits people who have suffered from road trauma, that’s why I chose that group,” she said

“They are already doing great work in our community.”

The event will be the first of this year’s Friday night meals at the Italian Club.

Georgia has chosen chicken parmigiana with chips and salad as the menu, with a sweet to follow.

The cost is $20, with profits to Heart Hub, plus $1 from each can of Emu Export sold.

Group and individual bookings are essential, and can be made through Colleen De Angelis on 0409 370 022, or at cmdeangelis@hotmail.com

The bar opens at 5.30pm, with the meal starting at 6pm.
