This page is a heartfelt appeal to support a 17-year-old who worked tirelessly to buy his first truck.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Our 17-year-old grandson recently had his first vehicle, a truck, stolen from his school. This wasn’t just any truck to him — it represented years of determination and hard work. He worked after school, saved from part-time jobs, and even held fundraising events to reach his dream of owning his very first vehicle.
