Melanie's Vehicle
Make Me Mobile hit a major milestone in October 2025 when they reached their goal of $60,000 for there first ever vehicle as a Charity. Peter White has spent 2.5 years fundraising for their first vehicle and it came all of a sudden when the
Iron Bark Church of Chiltern donated $5,000 and Prisoners on the Run Charity from Beechworth Correctional Centre donated the $12,600 required to reach the $60,000 milestone.
On the 23 of October 2025 Make Me Mobile Charity CEO Founder Peter White, Kay and Melanie Ruggi and Beechworth Correctional Centre were interviewed by
Border Mail News Paper.

Thankyou to the Channel 7 Border New crew for coming out to Chiltern on the 23rd of October to cover Make Me Mobile's milestone event of raising $60,000
for Melanie Ruggi's Wheelchair Access Vehicle.
This is a major milestone for Make Me Mobile Charity because it is our very first vehicle that we have been able to fund and it is our goal to do many more with the help of the Australian public, private enterprise, community groups, donations, grants and sponsorship.

Good Times With Benno
Peter White was recently interviewed by
Ben Hummerston.
Peter set up the charity, Make Me Mobile, to fund wheelchair accessible vehicles for low-income NDIS clients that cannot otherwise afford them. The NDIS fund the vehicle modification, but they won’t help the families with the vehicle costs which often means that the client that needs a vehicle modification to suit their needs does not get one. Only well-off people get the transport they need. The government can’t do everything so Peter and his team are trying to find other ways to fund these vehicles. To listen click on the button below.
