Help get Brogan a new wheelchair
Donation protected
Brogan is a happy 9 year old girl who lost her left foot to meningitis B in July 2016 meaning she’s uses a prosthetic leg, but the damage left to her right foot and Lower leg means she has to have that removed now also.
She was given a wheelchair by nhs wheelchair services at the time which was fine, however it is now falling apart and as she’s growing and wanting to be more independent the sheer size and weight of this chair makes it very difficult for brogan to regain the confidence to be as indepndant as possible.
Teamed with the fact that she is waiting for below the knee amputation of her right foot early this year, which will put her back in her wheelchair permanently whilst healing and rehabilitation is ongoing, it is crucial to us that she gets the chair she needs, therefore making her life easier and giving her the ability to be confident manoeuvring around school and outdoors and being the fun loving girl she’s always been.
A gift that will not only help immensely during this time but will assist with her day to day life for years to come and not have to be pushed by someone much bigger and stronger.
Wheelchair services have said they can help but the amount of funds that they are willing to put is minuscule compared to the cost of lightweight children’s wheelchairs on the market, so that has drove us here...i don’t expect us to reach the full amount of the cost of a chair but any amount will help and get us that little bit closer, Thankyou.
