"Help knows no borders" project
The Only One Foundation, part of #MissionMissions, joins in Justyna Kułakowska’s fund-raiser called „Help knows no borders”-We are raising money to buy an active, manual wheelchair for one of Botswana’s (Southern Africa) disabled citizens who broke his neck while jumping to the pool and suffered a spinal cord injury at the C5-C6 level.
The initiator of the fund-raiser is our colleague, The Only One Mom, working in the Foundation for Active Rehabilitation. In December 2017, she led an active rehabilitation camp in Botswana, where she met Dullas. Dullas is a young, enthusiastic man who wants to live actively and independently. Unfortunately, unlike the people who got involved in a motor vehicle accident, the government in Botswana does not provide any support. Issues he is facing, his charisma, and a desire for independent life prompted Justyna to organise this fantastic fund-raiser.
Kaone Dullas Meyoya History
"My name is Kaone Dullas Meyoya. I am 29 years old, born on May 25th. I am currently single because that is the box I can tick when filling out any official documents... Well… No kids either... but now, I have a puppy that I named after a friend... her name is Justyna.
In October 2012, I had an accident at the swimming pool. I jumped into shallow water and broke my cervical spine while damaging my spinal cord at the C5-C6 level. The result is quadriplegia, and I’ve also lost my hand grip. I was in the army then. Due to health reasons, in 2015, I was dismissed from service. I have been in a wheelchair for five years, and this year marks my sixth year. Unlike people injured in traffic accidents, the state fund in my country does not cover the purchase of devices or any other things that may facilitate my functioning as a person with a spinal cord injury.
So that being the case, the critical thing is that I cannot get an excellent active wheelchair, nor can I afford to buy one because I don’t even have a job now. But I am just a jolly person all in all. I like travelling, meeting new people making friends. I wish to travel to Poland and see Justyna Kulakowska again.
I love deep, soulful house music, TV series, and learning about other people's cultures. I love sitting and chatting with my buddies. I talk a lot, am very curious and always eager to know. I love food too; I and food are best buddies!
The Only One Foundation, as an organization working to change the image of people with disabilities as well as promoting active and independent life, joins this fund-raiser with pleasure.
