Help needed to get Ivan mobile Wanting to get him a mobility scooter, so he can have some independence

Southland

Ivan is my brother in law, he is 64 years young and hes been through a lot health wise

he has Heart Disease, Lung Disease, High blood pressure, Diabetes and kidney failure.

Each time he gets knocked down he just gets back up again..

so his energy levels are low and just going to the mail box is a marathon for him

My sister Maree and Ivan went and looked at mobility scooters but are out of their price range, as of course with his medical condition he cant work and my sister battles her own injury's, but still works to pay the bills etc..

They have tried different avenues to try and get him one but have been turned away..someone mentioned this page...

So we have put all our faith in here in hoping that new zealand can help...it may not seem much to some a mobility scooter but to Ivan it can be his freedom his independence and he can go out and watch and enjoy his 13 grandchildren who are his world

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.

It's not much but every bit helps :) I'm in a similar situation myself with my mother and can totally understand how important remaining independent is
