Recipient story

Due to ADHD, Autism and mental health issues, he can't work with others, so needs equipment to grow his own business.
GIVIT
A Northern Rivers local is fighting to turn his passion for shaping surfboards into a sustainable future. After decades of mental health struggles, recent ADHD and Autism diagnoses gave him clarity but confirmed why traditional jobs aren’t possible. His workshop is his sanctuary — crafting boards brings purpose, stability, and hope. But without proper facilities, his income barely covers survival. To grow, he needs a glassing and sanding bay with a safe ventilation system, quoted at $10,000. This upgrade would let him complete boards in-house, meet growing demand, and finally earn a living from his craft. Your support — whether financial contributions, donated equipment, or professional services — will help him rebuild his life with dignity and independence. By backing him, you’re not just funding a small business; you’re giving someone who has faced incredible challenges the chance to thrive doing the work he loves.
