Let's get Danny's car up and running!

$10,050 donated
Given by 51 generous donors in 9 weeks

We are raising funds to help our friend battling cancer restore his beloved car, bringing him a little joy during this difficult time.

Upper Hutt, Wellington

As many of you know, Dan has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. While no one knows exactly how much time lies ahead, we hope to help make one of his biggest wishes come true.

His dream is to see his beloved car fully restored and, if possible, enjoy it while he still can. Restoring a car is expensive, and we're asking if anyone is able to contribute—no matter how big or small—to help make this happen.

Every donation will go directly towards the restoration. If you're unable to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for helping create something special that will bring joy during such a difficult time for Danny and his family.

We all know Danny is one of the best guys around and will do anything to help those around him,

And we have all had the privilege of dans help big or small, He has the kindest heart and drops anything he has going on to help those in need...

Let's get behind him and his family and make one of his dreams come true.
