Zeekyboy Can

Kia ora, Talofa lava l, Malo ni!

Meet Ezekiel aka Zeekyboy. A fun, life-loving 9 year old boy with an infectious smile, who has been navigating life with Cerebral Palsy.

When he was 6 years old, we learned about Neuroplasticity and the ability for the brain to build new lines of communication through repetition. When he was 7, we started an intense, home-based Neuro-Developmental Therapy Program that was funded by the Brain Injured Children Trust.

With the intensive daily therapy that the program demanded, we worked as a whānau unit to support his physical therapy and we noticed massive changes. After only a short few weeks, he learned to sit, tummy crawl, stabilize on all fours, crawl a few steps and his speech improved rapidly. All things that were deemed impossible before we started his therapy program.

Ezekiel has been accepted to participate in a three week intensive therapy program through the Centre of Movement Australia in November and unfortunately, he doesn't fit the criteria for any funding.

The therapy will take place in Rotorua from November 13th - December 1st this year, and because we are currently paying off his newly aquired mobility van, we lack the capacity to raise the funds needed before the due date.

We would really appreciate any support to help Zeekyboy continue his therapy journey.
