Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We visited Lais' family on the weekend and I felt so touch to help them to raise money for this cause.

Please read the story of Lais by Jussara, her mum. We are  friends of Lais' family and we  would like to raise money to take Lais to USA to do  stem cell treatment as it is currently unavailable in the UK.

"My daughter Lais is 5 years of age and was diagnosed with a gene mutation which in turn led to a diagnosis of Autism during her very early years.

Lais was a lovely, happy baby whom enjoyed bath time with her older
sister and generally filled our home with happiness and laughter.
Unfortunately when Lais reached 7 months old we became increasingly
aware that something was wrong; she would avoid eye contact and began to lose interest in playing with her sister.

Unfortunately Lais’ has become increasingly frustrated over the years
 due to her lack of verbal communication and will often cry, injure
herself and refuse to sleep which is both incredibly worrying and
upsetting as her mother.

I am currently fundraising so that we can take Lais abroad for stem
cell treatment as it is currently unavailable in the UK. This particular
 treatment has helped to improve autistic traits such as poor
communication skills in other children and as a family we really believe
 that it could hugely benefit Lais’ life.

Older sister Ashley is a big part of Lais’ life and wanted to share her feelings on her little sister:

“I would love for my little sister to play with me but she finds it
difficult to express herself and join in with games. I don’t like it
when Lais is sad and I would love for her to have the opportunity to
live a happier more fulfilled life’

Thank you for taking the time to read Lais’ story it really means a lot to us.
