Horsepower Funds for Rebecca

$1,050 donated
Given by 15 generous donors in 7 weeks

Spinal injuries can cause a multitude of problems in all aspects of one's quality of life. Rebecca's mobility is severely compromised.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Rebecca has loved and cared for horses all her life and been an active member of the Dannevirke Social Riding Club. While out riding with friends she has suffered injuries that have left her hospitalised with cervical spine damage.

With Christchurch Hospital being a great distance from the family home in Dannevirke, the ability to regularly travel to support Rebecca comes at a cost. We are hoping this page can provide Rebecca's family with money to assist them to travel when needed and minimise the stress they are already experiencing. Funds raised will also go towards assisting Rebecca with her ongoing recovery and any lifestyle changes she may need make.

I am a friend and riding buddy of Rebecca who was with her at the time of her accident. I am wanting to support her and her family through this difficult time.
