Wheelie need my *beep* independance back, chairs.

$785 of $8,500 goal
Given by 11 generous donors in 10 weeks

Fundraising for car modifications / sports wheelchair, as no diagnosis coming on 4 years means limited funding.

Wellington

Since my daughter was born in 2017 my mobility has been decreasing, now I spend most of my day in a wheelchair or using a walker. For almost 4 years now my family and I have been searching for a diagnosis, this has neurologists in NZ and overseas stumped no matter how many blood tests, scans or biopsy's are done there is no clear answer. No diagnosis means limited funding for modifications and equipment. If you are able to help me and my family get some more independance back in my our lives thank you, if not that's fine too.

Use of funds

Funds will be used for vehicle modifications and a sports wheelchair to get me back playing indoor bowls. Any excess will be donated to help others with disabilities.
