Help Us Support Ryder

Wellington, Kapiti Coast District

Ryder is 5. He is undiagnosed so does not receive much support. His condition is worsening, with his mobility declining.

He has symptoms of a few conditions but does not fit all the criteria for diagnosis of them.

This little fighter made it through 4 surgeries before he was 4 months old and for 3 years was reliant on a feeding machine. He continues to defy the odds.

He is in need of a wheelchair so he can visit nature and animals. Ryder can not walk very far without getting tired and he loves the river walk that leads to some horses and is now too big for a buggy. *UPDATE: Child Development has provided Ryder with his very own Wheelchair.*

He also needs safe areas to be outside. Areas that are clear for him to get around. He has an aversion to the sun so an area under shading would be amazing.

He has a few appointments with more to come and public transport is difficult for him because of his sensory issues. Transport costs to appointments get overwhelming. This would also mean a great deal to us.

Hi Everyone   21 July 2023

We have decided to close Ryders page. After a few overwhelming months, Ryder just lost his Nana. We feel, at this point, we cannot do justice to this fundraiser.. We wish to thank everyone of all your support and donations. We still intend to to use the funds wisely and, when the weather warms, will make a start on what we can. We will post pictures on Ryders instagram page. @i.am.ryder

Take Care

Much Love

Ryders Crew
