Wheels for Ryan
Update
25 Nov 2020
Tonight I did something I've never done before... I pressed APPROVE on a bank transfer to buy a brand new car! Not just any car, the brand new vehicle which will become the Kim family's new disability vehicle.
Tonight, WE ALL bought Ryan his new wheels!
In just over four months we had an incredible response to the Wheels For Ryan campaign and have been able to answer Ryan's prayers for his freedom for Christmas. Although this My Cause page has not achieved it's goal of $40,000, we have still achieved our overall goal. In fact, we have been able to raise over $75,000 thanks to all of our many fundraising activities and a very special grant from the Lions Club of Australia and Zone 13 Lions Club North Shore who provided us with the funds to complete the purchase of the vehicle so quickly.
These months of fundraising have brought the community together in a beautiful display of friendship, compassion and empathy. We have been able to raise the awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in the community. And we proved that we (each and every one of us) can together make a difference in another family's life for the the better. A difference that the Kim family will never forget. We showed Ryan that HE has the ability to bring people together from all walks of life and inspire us to be our best selves. In a year of worldwide tragedy and hardships, compassion has triumphed in our beautiful community of Wheels For Ryan supporters.
Ryan's vehicle will now on its way to have its disability conversion completed. Our goal is to have it ready for Ryan to be using by December 14th. Hopefully, he will finish off this 2020 school year driving to and from school in his electric wheelchair, in his new vehicle.
Any additional funds that have been or are raised under the Wheels For Ryan donation page will now be allocated towards Ryan's additional needs and his housing costs. Unfortunately for Ryan, his struggles will continue but for now - he has a very large smile on his face knowing that a new car is on its way!
Thank you again and blessings to everyone for all of your support.
Kind Regards,
Suzanne on behalf of the Wheels For Ryan Fundraising Team and The Kim Family
