Warkworth Bus Driver Desperately Needs Eye Surgery to Keep Serving Her Community

$500 of $4,800 goal
Given by 1 generous donor in around 3 months

A fundraiser to help a dedicated Warkworth bus driver get urgent cataract surgery so she can keep safely serving her community.

Auckland

Casey is a beloved Warkworth local and long-time bus driver who’s dedicated her life to safely transporting members of her community. Unfortunately, she’s developed cataracts in both eyes. While she’s managed to gather enough funds to cover surgery in one eye, it’s simply not enough — driving a bus safely requires full vision.

Casey is known for being a tough cookie — fiercely independent and not one to ask for help. But her situation has become critical, and she’s reluctantly agreed to let us set up this page in the hope that her community might lend a hand.

This surgery isn’t just about her — it’s about the many people who rely on her every day. Any amount you can spare will go directly toward helping Casey regain her vision and continue doing what she does best: serving Warkworth with reliability, strength, and heart.
