Meet Our Beneficiaries | Alex, Clare and Amelia

Alex works full time for Royal Mail and lives with his wife Claire,18-year-old son Benjamin and 17-year-old daughter Amelia.
 
Amelia suffered brain damage prior to birth and suffers with cerebral palsy. As a teenager, she is looking for more independence to spend time with her college friends. Alex contacted the Fund for assistance with a lightweight wheelchair to replace her heavy, restrictive one. 
 
Without any savings, the family were unable to afford the purchase. The Fund joined the NHS with a donation, and together with the family’s own fundraising, they were able to purchase the chair. As a result, Alex is confident Amelia will have a much more independent life. 

“Thank you so much for this! My daughter is over the moon. It is really appreciated.” - Alex
