Portrait of Hope
Meet Joey
Joey’s Dad Chris came to Tree of Hope to get support for his son Joey. Joey has an extremely rare and complex condition with demanding needs that although necessary, cannot be funded by the local authority or NHS to the extent needed. Joey is reliant upon having equipment around the home to allow him to be as comfortable as possible, as well as tailored interventions and therapies to ensure all aspects of pain, comfort, functionality and mobility are supported as much as possible and without Tree of Hope, this support would be incredibly limited.
Joey’s care will be life long and the costs associated for managing his condition daily, are significant which is where Tree of Hope have been able to help make life changing differences to Joey’s and his family’s life.
“Tree of Hope are an incredible charity. They have helped me and my son over the last few years to get life changing equipment. They are amazing, caring and wonderful people. Thank you for changing lives.”
Providing a platform for Chris and Joey, Tree of Hope have enabled them to access specialist orthotics, a home hydrotherapy spa, mobility aids and equipment, to ensure comfort for Joey when in his home as well as costs associated with the upkeep of his specialist wheelchair and a standing frame to allow him to contribute more to family life and enhance wellbeing for the whole family.
As a result, not only can Joey enjoy his home in comfort with improved mobility and functionality and reduced pain, but the support allows his family to be more present with a lot of the worry and stresses raising a child with a disability can bring, being lessened as a result.
“Tree of Hope are part of our family. If it wasn’t for Tree of hope helping us, life would be terrible.”
