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

Hi, my name is Casper. I’m 3 and a half months old and I live with my twin sister Belle, my big sister Daisy and our mummy and daddy.

Mummy and Daddy say we are their world and that they would do anything for us as we are their heart and soul.

Belle and I were born a few weeks early. We were lying in our mummy’s belly. Belle was lying on top of me with both our heads together and she squashed me a little bit. As a result of this I have something called Torticollis which is a stiffening of the neck. Because of this I like to lie with my head facing to the left and this, and my soft skull has caused me to have Plagiacephaly and Brachycephaly (which means my head is flat at the back and mishappen on the left side).

I am very lucky though as this can be corrected with a band (or helmet). I have a lovely lady called Lisa Williams of Vitality In Motion who is looking after me and helping me with my band so that my head can be corrected. Lots of babies have this when they are born, and repositioning of them when they are in their Moses baskets or cots can prevent it, plus lots of tummy time. However because mine is so severe a band is the only way it can get better for me.

Tree of Hope have helped me with my band, which I will be getting very soon so my treatment can start straight away as time is critical at the moment to make sure it works but all my friends and family want to raise as much money as possible to help other children through Tree of Hope.

If you are able to help or donate at all that would be amazing and all my family would be forever grateful.

Thank you and mummy says we will keep everyone posted of how my treatment is going. Her and my Daddy and my Aunty and Uncle are going to be running the half marathon in 2014 to raise money for Tree of Hope to help other children to get better like me.

Love Casper X
