Support Girl with Spina Bifida in need of a car

Hello! My name is Charlotte, I’m 20 years old from Perth, Australia who was born with Spina Bifida (Spina bifida is a birth defect where the spinal cord doesn’t form properly).

I am starting this GoFundMe in order to get a vehicle that best suits my disability. I’m currently on my Learners permit, and I am coming close to finishing my required amount of supervised driving hours, therefore I am now saving up for a car, I’m looking at getting either a Toyota Rav 4 or a MG HS Vibe! (pictured). (the car i get depends on what NDIS thinks of the car and whether or not it’ll actually last me up to 10 years, but my first option for a car is the Toyota Rav 4)

I currently have funding through NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) to have hand controls and other modifications that I may need added to my car. I have added some photos of the types of modifications I'll be getting (scroll all the way down to see)

However, NDIS won’t modify the car UNLESS it’s within 5 years of age as my modifications need to last up to 10 years, which means I have to get a brand new car which NDIS will not help me with - only the modifications. And as someone who is unemployed and currently unable to get a job, this is going to be very difficult.

Learning to drive while having a disability isn’t something that everyone has the opportunity to do, depending on the severity of their condition. But I’m so grateful to have been given this opportunity.

Any funds not needed to purchase the car itself, will go towards having the car transferred into my name as well as getting insurance.

If you are unable to donate, I ask that you please share this around. Anything helps!!
