Hi, my name is Hakopa Thompson.
I was born dead due to a lack of oxygen. And then they said I wouldn’t live past 3 months. But here I am at 10 years old.
I couldn’t breathe when I was born, the doctors had to restart my heart and now I have cerebral palsy. I have had 1 major surgery, multiple operations and countless hospital stays but I still can’t walk.
I love to play on my Xbox, swimming, Kapa Haka, Mau Rakau and going in my walking frame. But what I would love more than anything is to walk on my own. My legs won’t go straight so the doctor says I need to use my legs more. There is a trike that I love. I can ride it on my own and it is good exercise for my legs. First I need to raise $6700. Please help me get my trike.
Remo Thompson is Hakopa’s Dad.
The trike costs $10 700. $4000 is being donated from Halberg Trust. My whanau need to fundraiser the remaining $6700. Donations made through GiveALittle will go towards the trike purchase, anything over the goal will be used for equipment for the trike.
