Wheelchair for Hein

Glen Eden, Auckland

My brother (currently based in Scotland) needs a wheelchair, I want to help him squeeze the best out of life by not sitting on the sidelines watching others.

It would provide greater flexibility and the ability for him to access more places to continue adventures with his family. Hein has a wheelchair but it is not fit for purpose, he is a big tall man and it is very restricted as to where he can go with his current chair. He has also taken a few tumbles in the current one which is not great.

The cost is substantial and I want to do as much as I can to help him and his family achieve this goal. Even financed it will take ages to pay in full, and with his variousl health challenges I dont want this stress on him or his lovely wife, Kathleen.

Please support me with any amount you can. Every little bit helps.

I run my first half marathon in May. I will keep running for as long as it takes to get him into a new fully paid wheelchair.

2% Effective Fee
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.
