Welcome to Nicky's Drive
The Nicky Abdinor Car Project.
Nicky Abdinor is an incredible example of courage, determination and sheer achievement! Read her story to understand why.
Nicky was born without arms and with shortened legs, but despite all of life’s challenges, she has overcome the almost impossible. Nicky leads an independent life and in 2004 she proudly obtained her Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Stellenbosch University.
Nicky’s positive attitude is inspirational. She drives a specially adapted car that is phenomenal to see in action. Nicky’s work takes her from her private practice in Milnerton to various hospitals and on to Varsity College in Rondebosch where she lectures on a part time basis.
Other achievements include:
-
Being nominated for the “Woman of Worth” award in 2006.
-
Vice President of Education (Ernst & Young Toastmasters Club, Cape Town)
Nicky’s current car (a 1995 Honda Civic) has extensive mileage and she needs to obtain a replacement car before her current car becomes unsafe and unreliable. The specialized adaptations required for this car are costly and are only available in the UK.
A fundraising project has been initiated to raise funds to ensure that Nicky is mobile and can continue doing the significant work she does. Please contribute to this very worthy cause - it is your opportunity to share in changing someone’s life.
