Help Us Get a Standing Wheelchair for Our Amazing Girl

Our daughter Isabelle, is 12 years old and lives with Rett syndrome.

She is full of personality, loves being with her sisters, LOVES watching youtube and absolutely lights up when she gets to stand in the kitchen and “help” with baking.

Standing isn’t just something she enjoys — it’s incredibly important for her health.

Because she has very thin bones and scoliosis, regular standing helps:

Support her bone strength

Promote better posture

Help with digestion and circulation

Reduce discomfort

Improve her overall wellbeing

Right now, standing requires a big effort. We have to manually transfer her from her buggy into a separate standing frame. It takes time, physical strain, and a lot of handling — and in a small house like ours, it also means having multiple very large pieces of equipment taking up precious space.

We’re hoping to raise funds for a specialist wheelchair that transforms into a standing frame — an all-in-one piece of equipment that would change daily life for her and for us.

This would mean:

✨ She can stand more often — easily and safely

✨ Less physical strain from manual handling

✨ More independence and comfort

✨ More spontaneous moments baking, watching TV, and being alongside her sisters

✨ Less bulky equipment in our home

Most importantly, it would give her more opportunities to participate in everyday family life at eye level — something she truly loves.

This equipment is expensive, but the benefits for her health, comfort, and happiness are enormous. It isn’t just a wheelchair. It’s better bone health. It’s support for her spine. It’s freedom to stand when she wants. It’s more inclusion in daily family life.

If you’re able to donate, share, or support in any way, we would be so incredibly grateful. Every contribution brings us closer to giving her the comfort, health support, and opportunities she deserves. If we are lucky enough to raise all this, any additional donations would go towards funding improved wheelchair access to our property and equipment 

Thank you for being part of her journey
