Spa Pool for Marshall

$7,110 of $7,000 goal
Given by 99 generous donors in around 4 months

Marshall requires care 24/7 for all his complex needs. He gets a lot of pleasure and enjoys time spent floating in a pool.

Waikato

Marshall is in a wheelchair and has cerebral palsy and severe epilepsy resulting in special care for all his needs around the clock. Now that he is almost 17 and VERY tall he no longer fits in a regular bath tub. As one of the few pleasures in his life is being in the water I'd love to be able to provide a spa pool for him to use and enjoy at home. The heat from the spa will also help with the circulation in his legs.

I'm involved because I'm his mum! I see the delight and also the peace being in warm water brings to him and helps to ease his body. I need help to be able to do this for my precious boy.

Today's the day!  23 July 2015

Hello everyone. Today is the day that everything is coming together and Marshalls Spa arrives and is installed!!! The deck has been extended out and a roof built out over the top, some wind protection will be added in the near future to try and limit how cold the area will be for when Marshall gets out of the spa, and I'm off to purchase a gas outdoor heater tomorrow also.

None of this would have been possible without your donation. I will be forever thankful to you all and also to the people at Pool World Taupo, Lyal, Tee and Grayson from Extreme Builders, Luigi at ITM, and Bevan Martin Electrical. I'd also like to thank Laurilee McMichael from the Taupo and Turangi Weekender, she has been amazing in helping to get this off the ground.What a fabulous bunch of wonderful people.

I'll have pictures soon to post here so you can all see what your kindness and generosity has helped to achieve for my very special boy.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Lots of warm and very grateful love

The McCash Family xxxxx
