Katie's Freedom - Omeo Wheelchair

  • THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

      7 August 2024

    This is officially my last update on my givealittle page as now it has been closed.

    I not too sure how to write this but here it goes....

    I am filled with immense appreciation and gratitude for everyone who has helped be part of my journey of raising money for the all-terrain wheelchair. I have received so many donations through this amazing service, givealittle, as well as some private donations. So, I have now received a total of $27,350. I am not too far off from ordering my Omeo chair, I need only $13,650 to go! Then I can be able to see my farm.

    The next part of my fundraising journey is to be able to take it out and be part of the community, so I will need a lift (approx. $15,000) and a car upgrade.

    My next step I have done is I have applied to for a grant called 'Lottery Individuals with Disabilities'. This provides grants to people who are living with disabilities, to help them have better access and be more connected to their communities. This was a big application and has been submitted and is pending review to be read by the grant board. I will know the outcome in September, please pray for me and for the outcome. I'll update the outcome on Facebook.

    Finally, I would like to acknowledge and give thanks to my family, friends and everyone who has been part of making my dream of freedom get closer. I am filled with so much joy from you all.

    Sending big hugs- Katie XXX

      Hey Katie I’m praying for you :) xx

  • Keeping you in the loop!

    I'm sorry but I have been not present here for a while, I thought you might want to know what's happening. About 6 weeks ago I had a big fall onto concrete at home and hurt my shoulder quite badly last month. It's getting better with treatments I'm receiving from Kingsland Osteopaths, they're the best.

    I'm have also been applying to the Lottery grants board for funding to help with the rest that I need. I have applied for the grant - 'Individuals with Disabilities', this will fund equipment to support individuals to contribute, participate in and connect with their communities.

    I want to immensely thank a few people that I has asked to write a letter of support, they were all beautifully written, THANK YOU!!!

    I will keep you all posted with the outcome.

    Love you all, Katie
