Colourful Dave

If you wish to hear me or book him to speak this can be done through contacting me at colourfuldave@gmail.com or Colourful Dave P.O. Box X 2222 Perth W.A .Australia. This website has a language tranlation on it but I only speak  and read English. In theory I am willing to travel anywhere for talks paid before I leave, and if you need an interpreter that needs to be done by you.I will do what I can to help though.Remember that I am in a wheelchair and need appropriate, transport, accomodation, buildings, toilets etc. My wheelchair folds up and fits in a lot of cars. At the moment I can walk very short flat surfaces occasionaly, but not always as it is a medically known risk of falls if too much walking so I alway use the wheelchair when travelling. My legs are getting worse yes, BUT at a extremely far slower rate than before I used the wheelchair. This was happening for 6 years before using a wheelchair. Costs must be paid by the group booking me and this can be negotiated at the time. If you wish to sponsor a group that can't afford me or my work that is greatly appreciated. Some have the ability to donate, others wan't a meeting but cant afford me. {One of my long term goals is to be paid and off the pension encouraging and inspiring others.} All are required and appreciated, You can only donate to me in Australia by a checque, cash or Australia Post Money order. If coming from overseas send via Pay Pal donations on this website or by Western Union Money transfers available in many countries. Make payments paid to Colourful Dave and it will help many.Donations can be made at the very bottom of this page. I would do more work to encourage others and setting up a ministry centre here in Australia for the disabled would be an ultimate dream. Check out my physical disability website at www.chistiandisabledaustralia.net and my new mental health one being transfered in time from www.theencourager.info/ to www.christiansformentalhealth.com  Your donations at the bottom of this page keeps these running. I get emails reguarly from overseas and in Australia asking for help. Some I cant as much as I would like to help but could if I had more finances. I cannot travel to overeas or interstate to receive money donations, from wills left intestate, or for money to be picked up when I get there in any way. I also will not send money to pay for any amount to be sent to me especially but not only in Australia. PLEASE BE CLEAR ABOUT THIS.. All my websites and services are currently paid for my me as a disability pensoner and the occasional talk, book sale, or donation but I currently make no more than I am legally allowed on the pension without making a profit beyond what is legally allowed without affecting my pension. Donations can be made by Pay Pal, a secure way available from many countries at the bottom of this page or as mentioned above. Thank you.
