Maddy underwent life-changing surgery back in 2015 at St Louis Children’s Hospital to enable her to walk independently.
We were so very lucky to have such a huge response to fundraising in our community to be able to pay for Maddy’s surgery and 2.5 years’ worth of physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Maddy was given a 4-year window to walk. Maddy so far has managed with hard-work and dedication to have left behind both her wheelchair and walking frame and is now using crutches and walking sticks to get about.
Our Goal – Independent Walking!
Our goal is to continue building Maddy’s strength and confidence through intensive therapy for Maddy to reach her goal of independent walking. To achieve this goal we still need to raise another $25,000 to cover the last 1.5 years of therapy to give Maddy the best outcome.
Now you can help at no cost to you
How?
This time around we have been given a wonderful opportunity which allows people to donate in an alternative way without having to dip into their own pockets.
Here how it works
We all must buy our electricity from somewhere, right? Well now when you buy it from Community Power you get to donate a share of the profits Community Power makes from your account to Maddy.
You never pay any more, you may even pay less, then whenever you use electricity in your home you will be helping raise funds to contribute to Maddy’s last 1.5 years of physiotherapy and rehabilitation costs.
The funds raised for Maddy come from Community Power’s profits not your pocket.

“I have been donating to Maddy for the past 6 months, my donation so far has been $54.85 and I am paying less for my electricity than I was. With my own budget being squeezed by higher costs this has been an excellent way for me to help Maddy on her final push to independent walking without me having to dip into my own pocket. Thank you Community Power.” Russell

Frequently asked questions and answers:
I currently receive a prompt payment discount, will I still receive this?
YES
I receive a Network company dividend, will I still receive this?
YES. The network dividend comes to you from the Network company regardless of which retailer you are with.
Will my power be interrupted if I switch to you?
NO, your electricity is never disconnected when switching between retailers.
Isn’t switching really hard?
NO, once you say “Yes please switch me” we do the rest. Other than proving us with a few details to set up your account thats all you need to do.
Where do you get your electricity from, do you burn coal?
Great question! We are very fortunate in New Zealand, approx 85% of our electricity is generated from renewable sources including Hydro, Geothermal and Wind.
Transpower manages the national grid and purchases of electricity from the generators throughout the country according to the demand from consumers and the availability of water throughout New Zealand’s Hydro storage system.
When Hydro storage is low other forms of generation are brought on stream to meet the demand to keep the lights on.
Retailers don’t manage the source of electricity generation and nor can we guarantee to you where the electricity you use is generated from. What retailers can say is that most of the electricity you will use comes from renewable sources, its the same for all retailers.
