Help Kiara Walk: Support Her Journey to Intensive Therapy

Therotogs
19 May 2025The fallout from Kiaras therapy has been the necessity for items that the government will not fund. We have managed to purchase most of them ourselves, however, we are unable to fund the theratogs. TheraTogs are orthotic undergarment and strapping products that give individuals with sensorimotor impairment a highly effective modality for improving postural alignment and stability, movement skill and precision, and joint stability. We have been quotes $840 australian dollars.

Update on progress
15 May 2025Sorry for the slow update. As you can imagine things have been pretty hectic during therapy. We are coming to our final day of our 3 week intensive now and what a time we have had. We have had highs and highers. Kiara put her heart and soul into everything she was asked to do. She has gone from being able to do limited standing and using upper body strength to pul up to ....... going from sit standing unaided, nearly being able to stand from the ground using walking hands, being able to walk aided by quadsticks and stand unaided for 10 seconds. Never in our wildest dreams did we think she would make this much progress. Tomorrow Kiara will graduate the program and we will get our at home program. Thank you to everyone for your continued support and also being part of the how we got here story.

IMPORTANT UPDATE
11 March 2025We have extended the target and timeline due to a very exciting Donation that has been given to us by Kiwis Together. We are now able to put down a deposit for follow up therapy once Centre of Movement move to New Zealand at the end of the year. Without people like you all and charities like Kiwis together this would never have been possible in our wildest dreams. So from the bottom of our hearts we thank you. Watch out for updates once we head off on Kiaras first journey. We leave New Zealand for the Centre of Movement on 26th April for her 3 week intensive. <3

2025 Update
17 January 2025We are waiting on the arrival of some grants that have been promised and some that are still in the pipeline. If these eventuate we will have practically done what we set out to do. If we do manage to go over the goal amount we will be using it to go towards any equipment we may need and or towards a 2026 review session. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone no matter the size of the donation it has all been made possible by big hearts. Kiara is very excited and in her words : She is going to be the best walker ever because " I can do it all by my self". This young girl has so much determination and grit she is a credit to us all.

decreased Goal due to Kiwis Together paying $1000 direct to the company.
26 October 2024 -
confirmation of $1000 dontaion from Kiwis Together. This money has gone direct to the Center of Movement
26 October 2024The goal has been decreased by $1000 due to Kiwis Together (KT) Paying $1000 direct. A little about this amazing group below. KT is a community-driven crowdfunding effort where Kiwis contribute $1 a week to make healthcare accessible across New Zealand. Since launching in November 2022, KT has grown from two people to a dedicated family of crowdfunders funding specialist appointments, naturopathy, osteopathy, specialised medical equipment, and so much more. Every dollar donated goes directly to trusted providers with full transparency. And not a single cent of donations received have gone into overheads. That's all covered by us! Supported by everyday Kiwis and small businesses, KT’s mission proves that small contributions can make a big impact. Together, we can reach more Kiwis in need—every dollar truly makes a difference.
