Funds for a new car for a Tauranga family with severely disabled twins are still rolling in.
Nikki Stokes and James Fowler-Oates' youngest children Felix and Madeline, 18-months, were born with serious medical conditions. Madeline is blind and her body does not produce enough hormones. Her brother, Felix, was born
without arms.
The family of six do not have a car big enough to transport them all so family outings are few and far between.
A local couple, who did not wish to be named, read about the family's plight in the Bay of Plenty Times Weekend and this week delivered a cheque for $1000 to go towards a car or clothing for the family.
It was important to help locals in need as well as giving to overseas charities, the woman said. "We've all got so much in this country and sometimes the things that happen to people, like this family, are so overwhelming for them. When one has something that we can share, let's do it."
