Newlife the Charity for Disabled Children - Feedback from the charity

 Ladies, 

Diana has received the following details from the charity that she and Lew Evans chose to support during their Captains Year. I am sure you will agree that the money was well spent and has clearly changed the families lives for the better.  The photographs referred to are shown in the changing room.

 

Dear Diana,

 

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend.

 

Please find attached details of the children that have benefited from your fundraising and year as Ladies Captain.

We are able to share 4 stories with photographs of some of the children as their families have given permission. The other children are not mentioned personally; however you can see by the records the number of local children that you have helped.

 

Thanks again on behalf of all the 11 families for what you have achieved as it has made a fantastic difference.

 

Kindest Regards,

 

Paul

Jessica, aged 8, Jessica has low functioning autism and requires supervision at all times to maintain her safety. She has no

awareness of danger. Her behaviour fluctuates on a day to day basis.

We hope to be able to receive a new disability push chair for Jessica. This will enable us to ensure her safety and give us the opportunity to enjoy more family days out. I believe this will boost our mental health as a whole family.

Katie, aged 7, Katie is non verbal autistic and has hypermobility in her joints.

She is too big for her pram at the moment but we don't have any other option as on a good day which is rare she will walk maximum 200 yards. most days she won't get out and walk at all. Days out are very difficult and cannot cope without a pram / stroller, as she is too heavy to carry now and also with her

additional needs she always has to have certain foods and nappies etc with us.

Jack, aged 6, has complex epilepsy and a rare tumour that has led to speech and communication difficulties. Jack also has a lack of understanding and it can become very stressful for him when trying to get him in and out of his car seat and because of this his family only go out in the car for essential journeys.
