Phoebe is 18 months old has various disabilities. She is blind and has a rare brain disorder called schizencephaly.

This results in development delays, delays in speech and language skills, seizures, and problems with brain-spinal cord communication.

Due to this, Phoebe has to sit in her special chair called a Jenx Junior to eat solid food to eliminate the risk of her choking. Myself and her mother are not together and reside at different addresses. The NHS have provided a chair to her address but won’t supply one for me, the none resident parent. They are very bulky so transportation is impossible. They cost £2500. I have tried lots of charities with no joy so I am going down the crowdfunding route.

Without this chair, Phoebe cannot spend more than three hours with me at any one time. She has never stayed overnight at my home because of the need for this chair.
