We desperately need to get Elijah a new van he can fit in safely

Waikato

I am hoping to raise a daunting $11,000.00 for my nephew to get a larger van, he doesn’t fit safely in their current van, 😢

Elijah has cerebral palsy, also cerebral atrophy, hard to control seizures and many more obstacles, to cut a long story short.

he is confined to a wheelchair, he doesn’t fit in the current van safely anymore,

My sister has a blog on Facebook, “Elijahs Journey “ , as an informative page for the many questions she receives regarding her son and to show her perspective of the everyday struggles of a family that deal with a special needs child

Elijah is the most amazing kid and has overcome so many obstacles in his life, and Toni, Josh, and sisters Aaliya and TeAna are amazing how they support him and each other 🥰

I am Tonis sister, Elijahs auntie, I have set this up to help raise funds for a new special needs van that Elijah can fit in as he has gotten to big to safely travel In the van they currently have, an upgrade will cost more than my Toni can raise alone 😢

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
