Help Liam get a new device for his education and communication needs

Liam and his mum, Trudi, are a beautiful little family living in West Auckland and our dear friends. Trudi works and studies, and does an incredible job raising Liam single-handedly.

Liam is a gorgeous eleven-year-old boy with autism. He is incredibly funny, clever and wonderfully deserving young boy who relies on his current iPad at home for many reasons. This includes communication, reducing anxiety and for education purposes.

Sadly, Liam's iPad is on its last legs and he desperately needs a new one. This iPad is not a luxury item for Liam, as it is a very important tool for him to continue learning, communicating and living a happy life.

Please 'give a little' to help Liam raise funds for a new iPad.
