Let's get Linda upright again!

Linda is profoundly disabled and unable to talk and has been since birth. She is now in her mid-40's and last year suffered the loss of her much-needed Standing Frame when it was wrecked in the Cyclone Gabrielle Floods. This has had a serious effect on her physical health and mental state and reports from her physiotherapist state that this will decline further if she does not get upright soon.

Linda lives in a home in Ramsgate Terrace in Mairangi Bay with 24-hour caregivers funded by MSD, but the state will not fund a replacement frame. The frame required is a Jenx Supine Stander - and costs in the region of $16,000 so we have decided to fundraise to get Linda back Upright! We are working together with Rotary and the North Shore Housing Trust but need some additional assistance from the wonderful people of New Zealand.

If you wish to help Linda please connect to her Give-a-Little page:

or just share this post as much as possible as this would also be a great help.

Yes I am all of the above, please can anyone suggest recommend someplace I can go ( but not the glue factory yet) for some way of easing up years of building work so I can move more easily, think stretching exercise type stuff.
I live in Mairangi Bay, more than happy to do one to one ☝️ just need to sort it. Ideally not too far away.
Thank you

Poll: Are our Kiwi summer holidays helping us recharge, or holding the economy back? ☀️🥝

There’s growing debate about whether New Zealand’s extended Christmas break (and the slowdown that comes with it) affects productivity.

Tracy Watkins has weighed in ... now it’s your turn. What’s your take? 🤔
