By Ella Phayer and Alice JeffriesA student in Room 7 called Amelia has been very supportive to the Tauranga Renal Unit, so she had the opportunity to be in the Bay of Plenty Times.
A fundraising effort to make life more comfortable for dialysis patients has found a little champion in bighearted Amelia Riordan.
Despite having never been able to save more than $10 in her life, the selfless 9-year-old has managed to raise just over $500 towards new TVs, DVD players and headsets for patients at the Tauranga renal unit. With 28 patients on its books, the hospital-based unit is operating at full capacity, providing dialysis for patients three times a week for four to six hours at a time.
