We are trying to raise funds for Ronaldo Lora for a new wheelchair
Bay of Plenty
I am wanting to raise fund for a new wheelchair for a friend in the Philippines named Ronaldo Lora. Ronaldo is a young man who was injured in a motorcycle accident when he was much younger and is confined to a wheelchair and then due to medical misadventure has also ended up as an Ileostomate which means that he has to wear an external bag to collect body waste. Ronaldo and his wife are both very gentle people who do a lot to assist others in their country who suffer as Ostomates and never complain no matter how bad the circumstances. He often has to go into hospital for leg massage and for spinal ulcers relating to having to sit in a wheelchair for long hours and the costs are all born by him, including the costs now of the PPE gear that the nurses have to wear due to Covid. As he is only on an invalids benefit and his wife is in a low paying job this makes his situation extremely difficult. He is in desperate need of a new wheel chair as the one that he has suffers constantly from breakages and is very old. I assist him by sending spare Ostomy appliances when I am able but a new chair plus the cost of sending it is outside of my abilities so I am asking anyone who will help to chip in what they can to assist this project. He does not know that his friends are wanting to help him an we want this to be a great surprise for him.
All of the funds raised will be spent on buying the best wheelchair that we can get and also to cover the freight cost of getting it from New Zealand to the Philippines
