Raising money to get Owen a mechanical arm
Donation protected
Hi I've got a 13 year old stepson who has duchennes muscular dystrophy, ( a deteriorating condition of the muscles which is a terminal illness ) and has taken him from a active independent child to a powered wheelchair user totally dependent on his carers, he has movement in his wrists and fingers but no longer can lift his arms against gravity Owen was thrilled to be able to take back some independent control with the trial of the neater arm support which uses the little muscle that he has to feed himself, the arm support costs £6,500 includes a 5 year service plan and set up for for the changes which will be needed for Owen as he grows. The Nhs will not fund this. So please can you help Owen ( these pictures are of Owen Trying out the arm support). We’d appreciate any donation, no matter how small! Thankyou!
