Hi beautiful people

My name is Oliver Hill Parker

I have a disability called cerebral palsy This affects my ability to communicate ,I need assistance with my personal daily needs ,my ability to access community unaided; and for mobility I use a powered wheelchair.

But I can still play sport

I play a sport called Boccia and have played since the age of twelve". Boccia is a game like bowling; Boccia is a sanctioned paralympic sport and is played all over the world.

I have played Boccia for new Zealand and last year 2025 I was capped as the 19th boccia player to represent NZ. The Boccia balls that I have are not good enough for overseas competitions any more. They are now required to be of a certain type; " Bisfed "approved . This is so all competitors have the same standard of equipment.. equipment equal . The balls are 88 euro each which is 206 NZ dollars with postage.. I need to get four new Boccia balls to make a complete set I hope you can help me. thank you Oliver

I need to get licenced Boccia balls because I want to play overseas. I need 4 more to complete my set. These Boccia balls are 88 Euro each. Athletes can't play without a licenced equipment.Essentially I keep saving money to pay for my sport and travelling

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
