The Children’s Hospital at Westmead is home to about 340 children, and when Antoin ‘Tony’ Farag heard about how tough their year has been due to COVID-19, he took it on himself to launch a workplace toy drive.
The branch manager at Coates Hire in the Sydney suburb of Auburn posted a call out for toys on his Facebook page after hearing from his wife Louise, who is a nurse, about the challenges kids faced in hospital this year.
