When Lives Are On the Line... Will You Help Lift Them to Safety?
The Grassroots Trust Rescue Helicopter needs your support to complete a winch and hoist overhaul - ensuring we can keep lifting patients to safety from rural and hard-to-reach areas.
Right now, we urgently need to raise $300,000 to refurbish the rescue winch - a critical piece of equipment that allows the Grassroots Trust Rescue Helicopter crew to lift patients from places no road vehicle can reach.
Whether someone is trapped deep in the bush, injured out the back of the farm, or stranded in rugged terrain - the rescue winch is often the only way to get them out safely.
This isn’t just a mechanical part. It’s a lifeline.
And today, your gift will go twice as far.
