RIDE THE WIND: Help Jonas Launch His Kite School Dream!

Help Jonas Soar Again: A New Beginning for a Kite School in Cairns

About Jonas:

Ten years ago, Jonas's life took a dramatic turn. An experienced skydiving and scuba diving instructor, Jonas lived for the thrill of the wind and the wonders of the sea. However, a skydiving accident left him with a C6 C7 spinal cord injury, rendering him a quadriplegic. Overnight, he lost his ability to work in the fields he was most passionate about.

The Struggle:

For the past decade, Jonas has faced numerous challenges, adjusting to a new way of life while maintaining an indomitable spirit. His trusted car, a lifeline for his mobility, recently broke down beyond repair. This car was specially modified to accommodate his manual wheelchair, but it can no longer serve its purpose. Now, without a vehicle, Jonas finds himself stranded and unable to move independently.

The Dream:

Jonas dreams of turning his passion for adventure into a new business: a Kite School that offers tours and lessons to the disabled community in Cairns. He envisions a place where everyone, regardless of their physical limitations, can experience the joy and freedom of kite flying. This dream is not just about his own livelihood; it's about giving back to the community and inspiring others to overcome their challenges.

The Need:

To make this dream a reality, Jonas needs a reliable and accessible vehicle. The Hyundai Staria, with its spacious interior and ability to house his electric wheelchair, is the perfect solution. This vehicle will not only restore his mobility but also serve as a mobile base for his Kite School operations.

The Request:

Jonas is seeking your support to raise $60,000 to purchase the Hyundai Staria. This vehicle is the key to unlocking his potential and enabling him to start his Kite School. With this new beginning, Jonas will be able to offer inclusive kite flying experiences, providing joy and empowerment to many in the disabled community.
