Rolling Toward Independence: Help Terry Get His Licence

$3,305 of $7,000 goal

Given by 44 generous donors in 10 weeks

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.

Use of funds

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.

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.
