Young NRMA Insurance Western Sydney Wanderers midfielder Aaron Mooy exercised an act of kindness when he visited Quakers Hill Police Station on Thursday afternoon.
The 22-year-old willingly donated two signed jerseys to be used as fundraising items in memory of Detective Inspector Bryson Anderson who tragically died on the job last year.
“My uncle told me about it and it-s not a very good situation that happened so I thought I could help the family,” Mooy said.
“I-m not doing a lot but every bit counts and hopefully there will be others now too.”
Mooy presented the station with a Wanderers jersey, signed by every member of the squad, and his Socceroos shirt – worn when he scored a free-kick in the East Asian Cup last December.
“With what-s happened to the family – these jerseys weren-t hard to give up,” he said.
“It touched me and I just wanted to help the family out as much as I can.”
Having grown up in Western Sydney, Mooy acknowledges the importance of embracing a sense of community.
“It-s good that there-s a club in Western Sydney for young kids to look up to and inspire them,” he said.
“I-ve shown my support so it might be a good incentive for other people to help out.”
