Elisha has Cerebral Palsy. This sitter will improve his quality of life and make caring for him easier as he grows up in Fiji. He is 6 now.
Edendale, Southland
Somewhere up high a little boy is loving in his own little way.
A soft whisper in his twin's ear to say I miss you everyday,
A cool wind to kiss his mothers face as she prays,
He looks on at what stayed after his life was cut away.
One was lost and one was saved, but not all of him got to stay.
I wonder if he knows what his brother, if he could speak, would say.
I think he would speak for him if he could, he would run, he would play.
And its not just him, or their mother, we all feel that way.
The Lord truly gives and then he takes away.
What could I do to help? What would I give, what would I pay?
As I watch their mother smile, and brave obstacles, come whatever may....
I am inspired to help. And I finally found a way!
I cannot do this on my own, my finances will not allow.
Please help me give Elisha something Fiji cannot right now.

I (Priscilla) am fundraising to purchase a specific set of special needs paediatric equipment that Elisha has used in physio sessions in Fiji and is comfortable using.
This 'sitter' is not sold in Fiji, and the cost to purchase it in NZ (nearest country that stocks it) plus shipping is immense.
I will be travelling to Fiji from NZ (where I live) in December to meet the family, so I have the opportunity to take it with me. Alberta (Elisha's mother) and I have been trying to purchase this 'sitter' for him since last year. Its just too expensive to do by ourselves. He needs this sitter so he can sit up and interact with people safely.
Alberta was my sister on stage during the Hibiscus pageant 2013. She was always bubbly and kind. What happened to her twins is a tragedy, but she has never wavered in strength and dignity. I want to help her surviving son Elisha. Please rally with me.
To purchase a Size #3, Special Tomato Soft-Touch Sitter from Allied Medical NZ, and deliver it to Elisha in Fiji. Allied Medical has agreed to keep 1 unit aside while I raise funds for it. It will be $6258NZD + 5% fee for this platform= $6570.90 + shipping
Thank you so much for chipping in for Elisha's sitter! The little boy and his mum feel blessed having people like you think about them and choose to help.
