Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi, my name is Connor. I am 7 years old I have mixed cerebral palsy.

Since summer 2010, I have been attending Rainbow House, a children’s charity that supports children with disabilities, brain injury or life threatening conditions. The staff there have worked very hard with me to give me skills to improve my balance and are now teaching me how to take a few steps all by myself. I like to practice my walking skills at home just like I have been taught at Rainbow House. They also work on other important skills such as my speaking, social and self help skills.   

This has given me confidence, but Rainbow House is also very important to me as it is very fun! During holidays I attend fun club, where I get to mix with other children with disabilities and also get to experience new things and I have even been to visit a police station which was very exciting.

Last summer, I attended the first annual Rainbow House Awards Ceremony and received an outstanding achievement award for all my hard work which I am very proud of. However, my Mum has just been told that Rainbow House is running very low on funds and unless my family can raise £3000 by the end of April their services will have to be cut and I will no longer be able to go there. This would make me very sad as I enjoy spending time at Rainbow House.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
