rebecca needs their own transport!
rebecca is chronically ill and needs an e-scooter for transport!
Riccarton, Christchurch
Kia ora folks, my name is rebecca and my pronouns are they/them. I am a chronically ill beneficiary and recovering alcoholic living in Ōtautahi Christchurch in Aotearoa New Zealand and I am in need of some personal, reliable transport as I work toward getting ready to work again.
I have been out of work for several years because of multiple chronic illnesses both related to alcoholism and not, and I am finally reaching a stage where I think I can get back into work, but in the mean time I need to be able to get around, doing shopping, going to meet my support worker, AA meetings and such.
I've been relying on Flamingo and Lime scooters for the last wee while but it's expensive and it would be just invaluable to me to have a scooter I can access to get everywhere I need to go whenever I need it, even when I haven't got any money.
Here's the scooter I'm going to buy: https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/HEAMIX50611/Xiaomi-Electric-Scooter-5-Pro---Black-Max-speed-25
Use of funds
Funds raised will go towards a Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Pro from PB Tech for NZ$999 because it supports my weight, is wet weather proof, and has a large battery so I should be able to get everywhere I need to go in a day before I need to recharge it.

Latest update
Two weeks tomorrow, almost halfway there! 21 March 2026
Kia ora folks!
I've not been making any updates so far because I don't want to bother y'all too much, especially if you follow me on bluesky you'll have seen me posting about this a lot there already! But since tomorrow is two weeks since I launched the page I just wanted to send a quick thank you to all of y'all who have donated so far and to let you know I'm almost halfway funded!!
As of writing, I'm at $470 of the $999 I need and I could not have done it without you all, so, thank you!!
I also wanted to ask a favour - if you haven't already, please consider sharing the link to my page with friends or family or posting it on your facebooks and whatnots to help get more eyes on the page and hopefully more donations? Any help at all is MASSIVELY appreciated!!
That's it from me for now. I will do another update at some point when I either hit another big milestone or am approaching the current end of this campaign (I will likely extend it if it looks like I'm not quite going to make it) so until then, thanks again, so SO much for your help!!
Ngā mihi
rebecca
