Help Tilli Cremin with rehabilitation after stroke

Hi, my name is Amy. I’ve set up this fundraising page for my 5yr old niece Tilli Cremin. 

On Tuesday 5th April 2022 we received a call to say Tilli had suffered a seizure at school & ambulance was on way. When we arrived at school, instantly we could see Tilli had a stroke all the signs were there Face, Arm, Speech. When arriving at our local hospital Tilli had calmed down slightly but obviously very tired. She then suffered another seizure & at that point we requested a scan. Fast forward after lots of tests, scans, it was confirmed our little independent, beautiful girl had suffered a stroke and was transferred to a neurologist team at addenbrookes hospital. Never in a millions years did we think it was possible for a child so young to suffer with this.

Tilli spent a short while on the ward and then ICU as her left blood vessel was a lot narrower then normal. At this point, Tilli was unable to move her right side including her face.

Tilli is a very determined little girl and the neurosurgeon was very impressed with her progress that she’s been discharged from hospital.

She is currently waiting for a referral to the Children’s Trust Chadworth where she will receive a intense residential rehabilitation programme if accepted. Unfortunately there is a waiting list. Tilli’s parents left hospital with the understanding she would be receiving Physio everyday for 1hr, unfortunately due to funding/covid/lack of resources this is now only 1hr a week. Tilli is improving every day but there is still such a long way to go to get our girl back to her normal self.

The reason for me setting this page is to get Tilli more physio then 1hr a week, speech therapy, buy equipment & raise funds for her to attend the CIMT programme in Manchester if she doesn’t get a place at the Children’s Trust.

I will also be holding a cake sale to raise funds which I will post the date when arranged.

Thank you in advance for reading this & helping to support Tilli.
