Driving with My Feet - Van Needed - As seen on TV! - Licence to Drive
Paraparaumu, Wellington
Help Get Mathias on the Road!
Mathias is a remarkable young man with big dreams, fierce determination, and a powerful story. Born with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, which limits movement in his arms and hands, he’s learned to drive using his feet – proving nothing can hold him back.
But there’s one thing still standing in his way: Transport.
With limited funding options (he's been declined by the Lotteries Commission due to lack of funds, and doesn’t qualify for ACC support), Mathias urgently needs a modified van to stay connected, contribute to his community, and move forward with his goals!
What This Van Will Do:
• Give Mathias safe, reliable transport
• Let him attend work, meetings & advocacy roles
• Support his independence & leadership in the disability community
• Provide peace of mind for his family
Mathias is Ready.
He’s earned his Restricted Licence. He’s ready to drive, work, and lead. All he needs is the right vehicle — and that’s where you come in.
Tune in to RNZ to hear Mathias speak candidly about the realities of relying on public transport while living with a disability:
