Story
Marie's pushchair has been stolen from outside my house..... she NEEDS this to get out and about as she cannot walk very far!!! The thieving b******s have taken her privileges away.
Marie is a charming, funny, lovable six year old girl who has Down Syndrome and also has Hypotonia & Hypermobility, and easily gets tired when walking. Hence the need for her buggy!
As a single mum of three (two of which are disabled) I simply cannot afford to buy the buggy suitable for her needs. Marie will always fall asleep when in a buggy so she needs one that reclines, as otherwise her breathing is restricted when her neck goes limp. Quite common with DS.
Hi.... I've lowered the amount needed to be raised as I have had a few people that have donated by sending me a cheque. A big Thankyou to all that have donated so far. I will add that I have contacted NHS wheelchair services, but unfortunately they cannot provide the buggy that would be suitable for Marie, hence why I would need to buy one privately.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
