Can you support us?

Donate to Tree of Hope today so that we can continue to help children

Will’s diagnosis is spastic quadraplegia, with all four limbs and his trunk being affected. We were told he may never walk or talk. But our amazing boy has proved the doctors wrong in many ways and we want him to continue doing so. He is a chatterbox, a true character with a wonderful sense of humour and lights up the room with his smile. He attends mainstream nursery and is due to start at reception in autumn 2013.

Will is currently unable to walk unaided and needs help with all physical activities that most of us take for granted, including transition from one position to another. He needs constant physical assistance, but is a headstrong and determined child – things that we want to develop as far as we can.

Whatever the future may hold, we know Will is going to need ongoing therapy and equipment to help manage the pain and develop him to the best of his ability. We have been told that as Will grows, the effect of the CP will likely intensify with the onset of deformities and more restricted movement.

Amongst other therapy, we have learned about groundbreaking operations being carried out on individuals with CP. If Will is assessed and accepted, we would like to pay for him to travel to the US to undergo a Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) procedure. This is a procedure that has been developed in the US with some incredible results. SDR requires intensive post operative therapy and care, and is expensive, so we are looking for your support.

We want to give Will every opportunity to fulfill his future dreams – whatever they may be. He amazes us every day, and brings so much to our lives. He is our hero. Please help us give something back to him and help all our dreams come true.

If we fail to reach our target or if for any reason we can not receive the treatment monies will go to the general fund of Tree of Hope.

Thank you

Bec and Dave
