ABOUT HAMISH:

AT AGE 7 HAMISH WAS A CONFIDENT ENERGETIC SCHOOLBOY.   ONE DAY, ON HIS SHORT DISTANCE HOMEWARD WALK FROM SCHOOL, HAMISH WAS ACCIDENTALLY IMPACTED BY A MOTOR VEHICLE, RESULTING IN LIFETHREATENING AND LIFELONG SIGNIFICANT INJURIES INCLUDING SEVERE IRRIVERSIBLE BRAIN DAMAGE.

IN HIS FOLLOWING LIFETIME, HAMISH HAS DEFIED HIS DIRE POST-ACCIDENT PROGNOSES THROUGH HOSPITALISATION, REHABILITATION, PERSONAL CARE SUPPORT, LOVING AND CARING FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND THE AID OF WHEELCHAIRS FOR MOBILITY.

NOW AGED 50, HAMISH KNOWS A LIFETIME OF BEING DISABLED AND DEPRIVED OF MUCH OF A NORMAL FULLY ABLE AND ACTIVE CHILDHOOD, AND HAS UNDERSTANDABLY DEVELOPED A STRONG EMPATHY FOR CHILDREN EVERYWHERE WHO ARE DISABLED, DISADVANTAGED, DEPRIVED, DISPLACED, HOSPITALISED, OR ARE REFUGEES.

HAMISH HAS DEVELOPED A LOVE OF HANDS-ON MANUAL ENGAGEMENT WITH ART AND CRAFT AS A THERAPUTIC AID FOR HIMSELF AND NOW APPLIES THESE SKILLS TO TOY MAKING, BUT HAMISH'S TOYS ARE NOT FOR SALE, HE MAKES THEM AS GIFTS TO CHILDREN IN NEED
