Lets get Bonnie to intensive therapy in 2025
Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty
Bonnie is 4 and has a rare genetic disorder 8PINVDUPDEL, which caused a missing corpus collosum (part of the brain which connects the left and right hemispheres) She has global developmental delay and is not yet physically moving around.
We promised Bonnie that we will do anything to try and provide her with the best life possible and intensive therapy and our time are the 2 things that we believe are going to give her the best chance at moving independently.
We are so thankful for the last give a little as it paid for 2 intensive therapies and we saw huge gains after each one.
Therapy comes at a huge cost. It is around $10K, then flights and accomodation is another $5K (from NZ)
We thought a little bit outside the box, took a risk and sold everything to move to Australia to be able to access intensive therapy to live in a caravan to help cut down on accomodation and flight costs, to be Bonnies full time carers instead of paying someone else and also have an adventure whilst we are at it.
We were hoping to self fund Bonnies therapies as we find it very hard to ask for help.
But losing our NZ funding has left us in a difficult position. Since sharing our story we have had so many people reach out and ask if we still had a give a little running.
So here we are, we don't want to do this, we don't like to do this, but its not about us, its about BONNIE and we love and care for her so much and DONT want her to miss out on therapy or an opportunity that is going to help her!
Matt and I are her mum and Dad and we love her so much
This money will all be spent on intensive therapy, hydro therapy, speech therapy around Australia.
Wow thank you so so so much. So incredibly generous of you x
