Our History:
We are a growing group of New Zealanders based in Northland that wants to see our disabled children thrive and grow with others. We are looking to correct the wrongs and even the playing field.
We are referring to accessibility for our young disabled, many of whom require wheelchairs to get out in the community. We want to make the community easy to access for everyone.

Kylee Ostermann CFO:
I Am Kylee...
I'm a single mother of two kids, a teenage daughter and my 9-year-old son, Alex. Alex was born with a chromosome abnormality that impairs his abilities to walk and communicate.
Alex wants the same as other kids, having friends, being included, and being accepted. I want all people, regardless of their abilities, to have as many opportunities as they can.
Changing people's attitudes toward these issues is very important to me.
