Creating a home for Finlay my CP Warrior

Hi, my name is Alexa, and I am fundraising for my son Finlay who is 17 years old.

#ALL FINLAY WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS IS AN ACCESSIBLE HOME!

We have just received the devastating news that our local authority won’t fund the total cost of the adaptions. This process has taken over two years so far. I don’t have the means to borrow any more money than I already have. Therefore, we need to start fundraising for these essential adaptions that Finlay requires at home (https://gofund.me/6a3d951c).

Consider what your average 17-year-old wants for Christmas.

Clothes, computer games, vouchers, money ….

Finlay wants an accessible home that meets his needs, something most of us can take for granted.

Please help Finlay achieve his dream where he can be safe and independent within his own home and support him with #all Finlay wants for Christmas is an accessible home!

Finlay is currently sleeping in our dining room; he doesn’t have any heating in this room.

Earlier in the year, Finlay had surgery to lengthen his abductor muscles because his muscles had become so tight and he was in pain every day.

Finlay’s should have access to his seating system and a standing frame. This equipment is essential for his physical well-being because we want to avoid further surgery as he grows. We currently don’t have space for them.

To be independent at home Finlay requires:

• A bedroom that he can move around in.

• Open plan living space because he is both physically and visually impaired.

• A wet room that can be accessed independently.

• An adapted kitchen suitable for a wheelchair user.

• Ground floor internal doorways widened for easy access.

• Permanent ramped access to the rear of our home so he can go into the garden.

The only progress we have made with the adaptions have been through a go fund me. We are eternally grateful for this. We now have external accessible doors in and out of the house, ramped access at the front with a driveway for Finlay’s car. Amazingly, last Christmas @temporarybathroomsolutions gifted us a temporary bathroom (think posh festival loo) and this has made life much easier for Finlay. But it is only temporary.
