For Natalia to continue being an active member of the Dunedin community, she needs a wheelchair. (The public system is letting her down.)
Saint Kilda, Dunedin
The following is written by my friend Niki.
Natalia has always been a giver, no matter the task, the people, or the community. She is first there to lend a hand, offer advice (when asked for) and give emotional support. For the last 10 years Natalia has been an active member of the Dunedin Community, unfortunately osteoarthritis has taken over Natalia’s well being. With the osteoarthritis in her knees, hips & shoulder Natalia is finding herself more and more house bond and unable to continue supporting the community as much as she would like, her mental health is suffering as much as her physical health.
We are here to help Natalia gain a good quality of life again, to be able to support the community, be part of the network and rejoin her participation in numerous groups such as The Stitch Kitchen, All Saints Anglican Church, Natalia’s Pub ( a knitting & craft group held at the Central Library) and The Society of Creative Anachronism (an international medieval reenactment group). Also to help Natalia continue rehabilitation at the community pool and local physiotherapy.
If you can, please donate, no amount is too small it all helps. Let's get Natalia back to living rather than existing.
Updated on 23/10: Self Propelled Wheelchair, motor to make it into a electric wheelchair. Any extra funds will go towards transport and rehabilitation.

Change of chair 22 October 2024
Hi everyone, I am changing my chair after going for a test drive on the one I hoped to get due to comfort level. I have decided to go with a Self Propelled Wheelchair that is more suitable for my body type. It can be used in as a walker and a chair making it ideal for me. I will need to get the motor to make it into a electric wheelchair once I get a bit more funding and sell my electric bike. The bike is now too dangerous due to my balance issues. Hope you are all okay with these changes, Natalia
Thank you.
