Help Gordon Dale stay independent

$4,480 of $50,000 goal
Given by 24 generous donors in around 3 months

Fundraising to help an amazing family who really need us to pay it forward.

Waikato

Gordon was paralyzed during a rugby game in the UK, the love of his life Tracey committed for better for worse to love and cherish. They have worked hard to build a life of normality and were blessed with a son Kieran.

Gordon's passions are music, driving, rugby, football and of course Tracey and Kieran.

Throughout the years Gordon has taught many many people to drive and pass their licence with ease, its a testament to his temperament and easy going nature!

Gordon had the use of one hand allowing him to drive, feed himself, use the computer, be independent using his wheelchair to get around the house and outdoors, however with recent surgery for cancer in his hand these small luxuries we all take for granted are no longer possible as his surgeon had to remove the main artery from his hand.

Gordon & Tracey are true friends, they are amazing inspirational people. Some may see Gordon with a disability, we can say we have never looked at him this way which says something to the way he presents himself as someone who is grateful to be alive

Thank you ❤️  21 May 2024

Posted by: Gordon & Tracey Dale

Thanks so much everyone.

Gordon is doing well and graft is healing nicely. The best news is that surgeons have managed to remove all the tumour. We count our blessings every day. The support and kindness from everyone has touched us deeply and we are so very grateful.

Gordon is still unable to get around as he is no longer allowed to use his hand. However we have managed to source a lightweight electric wheelchair which arrives on Friday. He will be able to get around the house for short periods and transfer in and out of the car. It will make such a huge difference to his day.

All your contributions will go towards the chair. Thank you again. I will post a video soon,
