Boy disabled after choking on apple at daycare has chance to walk
Within five hours, a Rotorua family’s dream to see their disabled son walk again became a potential reality. Neihana Renata’s family set up a Givealittle page to raise the $70,000 needed for robotic technology that would allow the 9-year-old to take steps. The little boy was left severely disabled as he was starved of oxygen for 30 minutes after choking on an apple at his daycare seven years ago.
