Mothers Day at Dean Drive - "Songs for Hellen Omonyang"

lWild Things Run – Mother’s Day Benefit Concert

Join us for a truly special afternoon of music, community, and purpose this Mother’s Day, as Wild Things Run perform an intimate live concert in support of a life-changing cause.

In the early 2000s, Pat and Kellie O’Donnell began supporting Hellen Omonyang through a sponsorship program—helping her through school and assisting with everyday essentials. From those early beginnings, a lifelong friendship was formed, grounded in care, belief, and a shared vision for the future.

Today, that vision is within reach.

Hellen is now a mother herself and is determined to take the next step—studying to become a qualified social worker. This opportunity will not only allow her to build a sustainable future for her family, but also return to uplift others in her village, just as she always dreamed.

Through this special benefit concert, we hope to raise enough to support two years of tertiary education for Hellen, along with the tools she needs to succeed in her studies.
