Story
Imagine if you couldn't talk to your friends, how lonely would you feel? Now imagine you are a 12 year old girl who can't join in with the chatter and jokes of her peers.
Thanks to severe cerebral palsy, Celyn Williams can't talk or sign. Her friends and family are desperate to buy her an eye-gaze machine which will help her communicate.
Trouble is they cost £10,000 and the state won't pay for it.
So help us in our quest to get Celyn to communicate ... a right we all deserve.

a year agoamazing we're now up to £3,620 thanks to some incredibly generous people! Please keep donating - Celyn's got a difficult few months ahead with some scary surgery in August and will be stuck in hospital for a bit. How incredible if she could have her VOCA with her to make sure she can get her voice heard!

I'm a friend of Celyn's mum Elizabeth, and I want to raise awareness so we can help out. Celyn is so frustrated at not being able to communicate and with a little help and a lot of sharing we can change that.
