Dexter Summerscales-Heard

We are raising money because we want to get Dexter to the USA to EAT again!

Dexter has Cerebral Palsy which affects his whole body, he struggles to move his limbs, sit without a wheelchair, isn’t able to talk or eat, he struggles to do anything without aid.  Dexter however is like any other boy of his age.  He has normal understanding of a 5 year old and is very intelligent.  Though he isn't able to talk, he is able to communicate through eye pointing and gestures. Dexter is witty with the reputation of being a class clown, he always sees the humour in situations and has an abundance for energy.  A boy who's mind is trapped inside a body that doesn't work for him, he works hard and has huge determination to do.  

We are raising money to help him live more independently in his home, these include:
Creating a wet room with an accessible bath
Widening doorspace so he can steer himself in a powered wheelchair
Adapting his room with monitors for his parents to monitor him more easily at night, a lift from the ground floor into his room.
To name but a few....
