Tehya's wheelchair fund

We are raising funds to purchase a specialised wheelchair for our 5 year old daughter Tehya Faith.

Tehya was born with a rare genetic sydrome - Mowat Wilson syndrome. Tehya is a very happy and fun loving little character and loves to be around other people.

Due to Tehyas rare condition she has physical disabilities , which are low muscle tone causing her to be quite weak and also developmental delays. Tehya has severe seizures, these seizures are triggered through illness as well as lack off or disturbed sleep. Because of this we have to be extremely vigilant when we take Tehya anywhere in her buggy, at the moment we have a large all terrain buggy which lies back if she needs to sleep. We will soon be unable to use this buggy as it is not suitable for taking into the wheel chair access  car we shall soon be getting. Tehya is now too heavy to lift into a car seat, and so we are trying to raise the money for this specialised chair. Other chairs available are extremely impractical for us and we don't want Tehya to miss out on opportunities to be out of the house. Which she loves.

The wheelchair which we are trying to raise funds for is a very versatile chair that is easy to push and able to be taken off road allowing for fun messy walks! Even more importantly is tilts back allowing for tehya to sleep comfortably in the chair when needed, minimising her risk of having a seizure, and it is also very well engineered allowing for Tehya to be able to push herself giving her a little bit more independence.
