I just want to go camping after my cancer treatment

Levin, Manawatu-Wanganui

"Not Zippy" is it's name. Unfortunately the gearbox failed, leaving me no way of getting back out on the road to enjoy the freedom of Camping. I've recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I will start treatment aprox 3-4 weeks. 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Im hopeful I can stay in it during my treatment at Palmy hospital reducing the travel fatigue and stress everyday. Im hopeful to raise the funds to get it repaired and enjoy the benefits after my treatment.

Use of funds

To repair, recondition or find a replacement gearbox.
