Canterbury

Hello there! My name is Holly and I am a young woman with cerebral palsy and therefore spend all my time in a wheelchair. Up until now I have been using a a special car seat that has meant I could travel in the family car, but I have outgrown this and am now too heavy and it is unsafe for me to be lifted into it. Due to having all funding requests turned down, I now need your help with transport! For me to still be able to travel to visit my friends and family, go out in the community and do things in my spare time I need to purchase a van with a hoist- which are too expensive for us to afford.

Thankyou for thinking of me- any consideration is deeply appreciated.

Kylie Paston's involvement (page creator)

I have posted this on behalf of Holly and her foster mum as they are desperately trying to raise funds. I have worked with Holly for many years and believe she is extremely deserving. Holly has a very sweet and social nature and she absolutely loves visiting her relatives- who all live out of town, therefore Holly is unable to see them without having a transport option. Holly also needs time in the community in order to stimulate her and keep her active, as the things she actually loves to do all require transport to get her there. Holly is medically vulnerable which can make accessing the bus very difficult, and her foster family are unfortunately not in a position to fund a van. Over the years they have given their all to Holly and it would be amazing to see them get some help with this tricky situation. They have exhausted all alternative methods of funding and want to make sure Holly can maintain as much quality of life as is possible.
