CFMEU helps Jesse The CFMEU’s Hard Hat Hankie Appeal received a plug on the Channel 7 News on 15 March when they featured the story of Jesse Wiltshire, the son of a CFMEU member, Jon. At the official launch of our Appeal, Jon Wiltshire attended with his son, who is
receiving treatment at the Royal Children’s Hospital for cerebral palsy. Jesse has been receiving treatment at the hospital since the day after he was born, and the Wiltshire family is hopeful that one day he will be able to walk. Jon was chuffed by the Union‘s support of the Good Friday Appeal. ‘The Royal Children’s Hospital basically saved Jesse’s life. Without the hospital, he probably wouldn’t be here.’
