Help 14 year old Sophie with her fight for her mobility!

Many thanks to those who have given a koha via the page or in person, to those that have shared the page to their whanau & friends, plus those who have reached out with their support & advice, but of course lastly & most importantly the lovely Casey who set it all up & continues to support… we are so so grateful.

We have been able to purchase smart crutches from Oz (thanks Mosie) which means Soph is more able to control & limit her dislocations & falls. We have also purchased a second hand wheelchair which is self propelled and SO much lighter! It needs some work but is already 99% better!!

Thank you all for helping our daughter, we have finally made the progress, she is more independent around home & zips around with ease, she wants to start getting out & about again which is fantastic news!

There is still a long trek ahead with Sophie travelling to Hamilton to see a specialist at the end of the month, plus scans & other j appointments to investigate Nutcracker syndrome / May-Thurner Syndrome without medical insurance. We also need to modify the home to allow her to access everywhere in her chair without having to ‘butt shuffle’ up and down the stairs.

Please help us raise the money for Sophie’s treatment of hEDS & modifications necessary to get her back to some sort of functioning teenage life. Once again, thanks we are so grateful for all that you have done to support our life changing journey.
