Awhi Matua Terry, a beloved Kiwi Can leader, by raising funds to support his journey toward independence through gaining his licence.
Waikato
Matua Terry is a Kiwi Can legend. For over 15 years, he has been a trusted Kiwi Can leader, known by thousands of tamariki across the Waikato. He has given countless hours to the Graeme Dingle Foundation, dedicating his life to empowering tamariki, building confidence, and changing lives.
Now, it’s our turn to give back and support him.
Matua Terry lives with cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. Gaining his driver’s licence would be a powerful step toward independence, freedom, and opportunity but the cost of specialised driving hand controls, lessons, assessments, and licensing creates a significant financial barrier.
This Givealittle page has been created to awhi Matua Terry, helping raise the funds he needs to gain his licen ce hand controls and strengthen his independence.
Ngā mihi nui for your tautoko.
Work colleague at the Dingle Foundation.
The funds raised will go toward specialised driving lessons, vehicle adjustments, assessments, and licensing costs needed for Matua Terry to gain his driver’s licence.
🚗 Update from Matua Terry 🚗 5 June 2026
Kia ora everyone,
Just a quick update from me!
I'm excited to say that I've now started modifying the vehicle, so things are officially moving forward. I have been so overwhelmed by the response from each everyone of you! What started as an idea is slowly becoming a reality, and that's thanks to all of you. Every donation, share, message of support, and word of encouragement has helped me get to this point.
There's still a bit of work to do, but we're on our way! I'll keep you all updated as the modifications continue and I get closer to hitting the road.
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. I appreciate each and every one of you more than you know.
Much love,
Matua Terry 😊
