WHERE DID YOUR $4 GO?

If you donated $4 this month, every cent went towards healthcare for an actual Kiwi. Kiwis Together never takes a cut—your donation joined others to help pay an invoice from a pharmacy, rehabilitation therapist, specialist clinic, immunotherapy provider or intensive therapy programme.

Lately, those invoices have included, to name just a few, injury rehabilitation, neuromuscular and walking therapy, intensive therapy for children with complex disabilities, specialist healthcare, immunotherapy and essential prescription medications.

Your $4 joined someone else’s $4—and together, you made real healthcare happen.

MEET TOBY 💛

Little Toby was born with an extremely rare genetic condition called PMM2-CDG and is one of only five people in New Zealand diagnosed with it. His first year was incredibly frightening for his family, with seven months spent in PICU, followed by more hospital stays and surgeries. Now two, Toby has surprised his doctors with how well he has progressed and, despite living with a severe lifelong disability, he is the happiest and most loved little member of his family.

Toby is not yet able to hold his head up independently, so his family’s biggest hope is to help him gain the strength and control needed to sit with less support. From there, it could open the door to crawling, standing and perhaps one day even taking some steps.

Later this month, Toby will begin a three-week intensive therapy programme, and Kiwis Together is absolutely delighted to be helping him access this opportunity.

Please follow Toby’s journey with us, as we’ll be sharing an update on his progress once he has completed his intensive. We can’t wait to see how you go, Tobes 💛

Much of the help Kiwis Together provides happens quietly behind the scenes.

Right now, we’re paying registered providers and pharmacies directly for physiotherapy, osteopathy, specialist treatments, unfunded monthly prescriptions, early-intervention therapy and other essential healthcare that people simply cannot afford themselves.

Some of the healthcare we fund is deeply personal, so you won’t always see a photo, a name or a story shared publicly. Privacy and dignity matter to us just as much as accountability.

We’re a small but growing registered charity run by two mums who take no salaries. Every dollar we have available is already committed, and every payment is made directly to an approved healthcare provider, practitioner or supplier—never to an individual.

Small regular donations allow us to keep this help going. If even 1% of New Zealanders gave just $1 a week, imagine how many more Kiwis we could quietly stand beside when healthcare is out of reach.

Not able to donate right now? You can still support us by following our work and signing up for our newsletter at www.kiwistogether.org.nz — you’ll find the signup form near the bottom of the page.

Just Kiwis backing Kiwis. 💛

MEET EMMA 💛

Ten-year-old Emma was born with a severe brain disorder, global developmental delay, sensory processing disorder and hypotonia. She is non-verbal and unable to walk independently—yet.

When Emma was three, she couldn’t sit independently and had very little awareness of her own body. After eight years of dedicated rehabilitation and four-hour therapy sessions, four days a week, this determined wee girl can now sit, crawl, walk with assistance, give herself a drink, throw a ball—and flash the most beautiful cheeky smile.

Emma has even recently taken a couple of independent steps! Her greatest challenge now is balance.

In September, Emma and her mum Cindy will travel from South Otago to Christchurch for a two-week intensive therapy programme. This is a rare opportunity for Emma to receive this therapy here in New Zealand, without the enormous cost of travelling overseas.

Kiwis Together is proud to be helping Emma take this next step.

Cindy made Emma a promise when she was just six months old and fighting for her life: she would leave no stone unturned in helping her reach her full potential. We’re so pleased to be part of Emma’s next chapter.

This is your $1 a week in action. Thank you to every person who makes help like this possible. Together, let’s help more Kiwi families say “not yet” instead of “never.”

This little guy needs our help 💙 And he’s not the only one. Kiwis Together supports Kiwi families who need help accessing healthcare they otherwise couldn’t afford, and we’d love to grow our $1-a-week Warriors. A little from a lot of us can make a very big difference.

Podiatry is one of those areas of healthcare that can easily fall through the gaps.

Heel pain and plantar fasciitis, painful flat feet, bunions, toe problems, recurring ingrown toenails, corns and calluses and other everyday foot problems can make walking, working or simply getting through the day pretty miserable.

Yet for many Kiwis, seeing a podiatrist means paying privately.

Kiwis Together may be able to help with the cost of a podiatry consultation for non-hospital-level foot problems that aren't otherwise publicly funded.

We're not talking about serious foot conditions requiring hospital or specialist care. This is about helping someone access a podiatrist when they have a troublesome foot problem, need professional advice or treatment, and the cost of that appointment is standing in the way.

Sometimes getting the right help early can make a very big difference.

We’ve just had an awesome update from Harry’s mum — and this little guy has been putting in some serious work!

Across five Trexo walking sessions, Harry completed an incredible 8,130 steps in 213 minutes. And it wasn’t just about the number of steps — by his final session he was taking around 25% more steps than when he started, initiating more of the movement himself, walking at a faster pace and needing less support from the device.

For a little boy who is non-mobile and whose family hopes that one day he may take his own first steps, these are some pretty special results.

Harry’s mum told us it makes “the world of difference” knowing they are giving him every opportunity possible. And that’s exactly why Kiwis Together exists. Because of the people who give their $1 a week, we were able to fund these sessions for Harry, with one more still to come.

We’ve popped a little video of Harry in action in the comments — go Harry! 💙

𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗢 — 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗔𝗧 𝗛𝗜𝗠 𝗚𝗢! 💙

We first introduced you to little Arlo when he was just 15 months old, facing some enormous challenges and working incredibly hard for milestones that come so easily to many other children.

So we absolutely love being able to come back with an update like this.

Arlo has been continuing his therapy and putting in the work — and this gorgeous video gives you a little glimpse of how he's getting on. For those of you who donated, shared his story, or give your $1 a week to Kiwis Together, this is what your support is all about.

Sometimes when you donate, you don't get to see what happens afterwards. We think you should.

Every contribution helps us say yes to more Kiwi families needing help accessing therapies, treatment, appointments and equipment that can otherwise be out of reach.

Keep going, Arlo. We're cheering you on! 💙
