Story
Carmela is a 4 year old happy little girl with a very rare form of Muscular Dystrophy called L-CMD with only a handful of known cases in the UK. It is a progressive muscle wasting disease which will affect her heart and lungs and will shorten her life. She is still quite mobile on her feet but as she is growing she relies on her wheelchair the second half of the day. Even when she is mobile, she is unstable on her feet due to her leg weakness, hypermobilty and her floppy head so wears a helmet or neck collar to protect her. With all this to cope with, she continues to enjoy life and loves the garden but unfortunately it doesn't meet her needs. I am unable to meet the costs and there are no open applications for charity help for garden makeovers. I have found a few very generous men in our village willing to give up their time to help create the garden for Carmela but we need to raise the money for the cost of the materials. So she can enjoy play in a safe and fun environment, she requires a rubber path when walking but dual use for wheelchair too. The path to be under cover from the rain, some fun wall play boards and wheelchair access wooden raised planters as she loves growing flowers and vegetables.
Thank you so much for your support and for making our little girl enjoy life as much and for as long as possible. xx
