Olivia was diagnosed with Global Development Delay, Hypotonia, Joint Hyper Mobility and Macrocephaly, but the underlying cause has never been found despite the constant stream of tests she has endured for most of her life.

 

We were told early on that Olivia may never be able to walk.

 

Which is what prompted us to start fundraising with a registered charity Tree of Hope.

 

This charity funds speech and language therapy as well as intensive physiotherapy, which enabled Olivia to start walking at the age of five.

 

We received further heartbreaking news in December 2016 when Olivia was diagnosed with Autism. we were lost as to what Olivia’s needs would be, so I undertook an eight week sensory and diet program to help me understand her condition enabling me to help her in every way possible, This was life changing and has made a real difference to our every day family life.

 

Olivia has severe learning difficulties and has the developmental age of a three year old but despite the challenges she faces, she is the sweetest happiest most loving little girl.

 

So with the ongoing support from her family and friends plus all the people who have attended and helped with fundraising events in the past we can continue to give Olivia a fighting chance in achieving a much brighter future.

 

We are running out of funds and really need for her physio to continue for Olivia to carry on building up her muscle strength to keep her walking and we also need for her to carry on her speech amd language so in the hope that one day she will be able to do all the things her peers do

 

with the help and support of you wonderful people please let us all help

Olivia reach her dreams of one day been able to live some normal future

 

Your support really does go a long way and will make such a difference to her future.

 

All your ongoing support is appreciated more than you will ever know.

 

Many Thanks

 

Debbie and Ray
