In May 2020 Shauna and I were told our son Hunter had ‘something wrong’ with him, what was supposed to be one of the happiest days for us turned into a nightmare as we took in the news that Hunter would be born with missing fingers and what we later found out to be missing toes. We were left upset and in shock with so many concerns and unanswered questions. Thankfully on that same day we were introduced to a charity called Reach, we are now members of the charity and have found a wonderful supportive community for Hunter to grow up with. Despite covid stopping any physical meetings we’ve had online support from the charity since day one, we’ve been reassured and inspired by other families and their amazing children. So I would like to give something back as I know Reach will play a big part in Hunters life!

Thank-you from Nicole, Shauna and Hunter 🧡
