Turning $5 into $5k to Change 5 Lives

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for all the support so far. I have already raised $1714 which is incredible and I am so grateful to everyone who has donated or shared the page.

I have decided to reopen the page because I am not finished yet! My goal has always been to reach $5000 so that more families who suspect their child may be dyslexic can access an assessment but may not otherwise be able to afford one.

Since the page first went live, I have held two sausage sizzles at Mitre 10 Papanui with the help of family members, which raised a big portion of the funds so far. I have also started sharing my journey and progress on my YouTube channel.

Over the Easter school holidays I plan to keep going with the challenge. I now have a friend on board who is also dyslexic and together we are looking at ideas like raffles and car washing to help reach the final goal.

I know first hand how life changing a dyslexia diagnosis can be. My own assessment helped me understand how my brain works and gave us the clarity we needed to get the right support in place.

Thank you again for being part of this journey and helping me make a difference for other kids.
