Tēnā koutou e te hikuroa

Ko tā mātou mīhana i te kaipākihi o Connexu,  he taituarā anō ki ngā tānagata whaikaha me ō rātou hiahia pono.

Otirā, akiaki ai ō rātou hono, whānaungatanga, ahurea tuariki, hāhi,  rānei mā te painga o te taha wairua, taha hinengaro, taha tinana, taha whānau. Nā te mea, he ōrite te tūmmanako ā mei kore ake te wā hononga.

Nō reira, ka mahi tonu mātou ki te manaaki ai ngā tāngata whaikaha me te hauora o rātou tūranga i tenei ao.

“Ko te pai tawhiti whāia kia tata, ko te pai tata whakamaua kia tina”.

STORIES FROM PEOPLE WE partner with

Each person we partner with has different needs and their own unique vision for their life. We tailor individuals’ ConneX-Plans to work with them in the way they want. Read inspiring stories from people we partner with below or by visiting our ConneXu Community page.



BETHANY

“I feel very happy and I feel very proud”

Bethany contracted meningitis when she was only a few hours old. This left her with left-sided hemiplegia, which significantly affects her memory, meaning she often can’t keep track of what she’s doing in her daily life. 

Growing up Bethany needed constant support to keep her safe, but she was frustrated at home because she was like a cocooned butterfly. Her poor memory kept her from doing the things she wanted to do. 


Peter

“I refuse to let my disability stop me. The day I do - I'll be dead.”

Peter has been supported by ConneXu for the past three years. In everyday life, he requires assistance for basic needs like dressing and eating because he has limited use of his limbs. However, his mind is sharper than most, and Peter doesn’t let his physical disability stop him from living his kind of good life.

…Intelligent and inspiring, but to the point, that’s how my interview with Peter McTavish started and was the flavour of how it was to continue.


GABBIE

“If I wasn’t with ConneXu I would be spending my whole life wondering what I missed out on”

Gabbie lives with two flatmates, has a job, is about to start her second qualification at WINTEC, and is achieving the things she wants to do in her life. However, Gabbie has autism and life hasn’t always been easy.

Although she has a great relationship with her family, living at home wasn’t giving her the opportunities she dreamed of. Gabbie dreamt of independence, friendships and being able to make a difference in the world.
