Donation Pays for a Specially Designed Pool to Assist Luke Quintano

In July 2009 Kevin Young was watching A Current Affair, in this particular edition they covered the story of Luke Quintano. Kevin immediately wanted to offer his assistance and contacted ACA for further details and then passed these to Club Cares to follow up.

Here is Luke's story.

"A Big Thank you to Kevin and Kathy Young and Club Cares for their generous donation of $50,000 to install a specially designed Pool for Luke" - Stephen Quintano, Queensland.
 
While trying to keep the peace when a scuffle broke out on the dance floor Luke was shot in the back of the head, he has brain damage, lost his eye and could not walk or move his right side of his body and lost the ability to speak and had to spend 9 months in intensive rehabilitation.

He was awarded compensation from the Night Club's insurance company but the company went under. Luke and his family have tried to sue the night club but the owner has passed away. The Quintano family were awarded $4 million but there is no one left to pay it out and the attacker had fled to Lebanon, so no one is being held accountable.
 
Luke requires 24 hour care which his father is doing, and the installation of the pool will assist with Luke's rehabilitation which will obviously be on a long on-going process.
