We’re raising funds to help GJ with GDD attend a life-changing movement program in Rotorua.
Auckland
GJ has severe Global Developmental Delay (GDD), which impacts his mobility and independence. Despite working with specialists and using the resources we have at home, his progress has been limited. We’ve recently discovered an amazing opportunity for him to participate in a one-week intensive movement program with the Centre of Movement in November 2025.
This program could make a huge difference in his mobility, but unfortunately, it’s not funded by the government despite our efforts to secure support. To make it happen, we’ll also need to cover accommodation costs, as the closest centre is in Rotorua (the only other location being Christchurch).
We’re reaching out to our community for help because every little bit counts, and your support could open up new possibilities for our boy’s future. If you can’t contribute financially, sharing our story would mean the world to us!
We truly appreciate you taking the time to read and support our journey.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
I am his biological aunt but his legal dedicated caregiver, advocating for his mobility and independence.
The money will cover the $2,700 program cost, with any remaining funds going towards accessible and affordable accommodation, also travel costs for a on-the-road round trip from Auckland to Rotorua.
New Goal & Date – Thank You All! 💛 19 May 2025
Kia ora whānau, friends, and kind supporters,
We’re writing with a quick but important update and a massive thank you.
Thanks to your generosity and $1,000 we've managed to save ourselves, we’ve been able to lower our fundraising goal from $4,000 to $3,000. With your help, we’ve now reached that revised goal — and we are so incredibly grateful. Every single donation, message, and share has made a real difference to us.
We’ve also adjusted the date on this page. That’s because the sooner we can pay for our spot in the programme, the more secure we can be that it won’t be taken by someone else. It’s a huge relief knowing we’re now in a position to move forward confidently.
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. Your support has lifted a huge weight off our shoulders, and we couldn’t have done this without you.
Arohanui,
GJ & Family <3
