Chris and Noel Doecke, who are
establishing a microbusiness for
their daughter Rachael, who has
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome,
with the intent of ensuring a
fulfilling future for her.
In purchasing the business a
new kitchen has been erected
at Chris and Noel’s home, in
which Chris and Bryon will
work with Rachael, teaching her
the art of chocolate making as
well as packaging and labelling
of the chocolates.
This will also be done with the
help of Rachael’s daily support
workers.
They also hope to eventually
include other young adults,
living with a disability in the
venture.
“You should have seen the first
time she (Rachael) packed the
chocolates,” Bryon recalls. “She
couldn’t wipe the smile off her
face from what she achieved.”
While I am assured the quality
and recipes will remain the
same, Chris has chosen to
rename the business Ability
chocolates; a name that came
as a brainwave of Chris’ friend,
John Hughes, by removing
dis from disability; therefore,
a more fitting title for future
intentions.
Chris welcomes any businesses
interested in stocking Ability
chocolates to contact her
directly.
By no means does Bryon plan
to slow down in retirement.
In fact he intends to use his
newfound time developing hard
centred creations and assist
Chris when at all possible.
Those partial to the delight of
chocolate, whether it’s rocky
road, freckles, mint or coffee
you’re after, do yourselves a
favour and make your way to
the Barossa Farmers Market
for the entire Ability chocolates
range.
