Adapted car for David' s needs
Donation protected
My good friends Mary and Patrick need your help and support to enable them to get a wheelchair adapted car for their beautiful special needs boy David.
Background
Mary and Patrick's beautiful boy David was born in 2014. Throughout Mary's pregnancy there were no concerns. David was brought home from hospital with his proud parents. However over time they realised David was not meeting any of his milestones. Every time Mary expressed concerns she was told David would come on in time. Eventually beautiful David was referred to hospital for brain and spine scans. Initially David's parents were told that all his scans were clear, however a year later they were informed David has Lissencephaly. This is where David's brain appears smooth instead of bumps and grooves. Furthermore David also has a severe intellectual disability and epilepsy. Even though David is non verbal and cannot walk he is the sweetest affectionate little boy. Children with Lissencephaly have a life expectancy of 10 years, however the family take this all in their stride and live day to day with challenges and obstacles most people take for granted. As you can imagine their lives get very hectic with hospital appointments and therapies. I am writing to ask for assistance for this family in providing a wheelchair accessible car for David. As David grows so do his needs. Having this car would make life some bit easier for this family while they continue to care and try to make their precious little boys life easier.
Thank you for your support.
