Lara’s wheelchair vehicle

Lara, a single mum who has muscular dystrophy needs a wheelchair friendly vehicle!

Mosgiel, Otago

Lara is an amazing single mum to a beautiful six year old little girl. Lara lives with muscular dystrophy and has very little strength and movement throughout her body. She depends on a wheelchair to get around. There is no way for her to get her wheelchair into her tiny car, which in any case is currently broken. Lara needs a vehicle equipped for her wheelchair to do normal mum things. Her gorgeous little girl is currently missing out on so much of the normal childhood experience as her mum is unable to come along to school events, sport, parties and can’t take her on the childhood visits to the museum, movies and art gallery we all take for granted. Lara has applied to funding agencies without success and is understandably heartbroken. Lara is the most deserving candidate and we can’t see why the funding agencies don’t put a single, disabled mum first, so we have decided to put her first and call on our community to raise the funds she needs to get her and her daughter away from the four walls of their small home.

Use of funds

A wheelchair friendly vehicle for Lara. If we don’t meet our target Lara will get the money to put towards a vehicle when she is able to raise more from other sources or use to help her with taxi or other costs associated with her disability.
