Behind every statistic is a story. Read how we’ve helped Ellie and Daniel to live more independent and fun-filled lives:
Ellie’s story
We are absolutely delighted and incredibly grateful for your decision to fund Ellie’s wheelchair. This support will make a huge difference to Ellie’s life and to our family.
It will allow her to be more comfortable, access more activities, and enjoy everyday outings that were previously very challenging. Knowing that Ellie will have this support means so much to us.
We truly cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity, and for the difference you are making in Ellie’s life. With heartfelt thanks!
Daniel’s story
Our son Daniel, who recently turned six has a lifelong learning disability and is significantly delayed throughout all areas of learning and development.
Through the years he has never really been interested or motivated by toys.
We have been blessed to have borrowed 5 play therapy pods over the past couple of years and honestly I can say that they have been so beneficial. He now shows more interest in toys and will play with encouragement and guidance from his parents and older sister.
The current play pod we have on loan- exploring vision we have seen lots of positive outcomes. He responds very well to sensory play and this play therapy pod has been excellent for his sensory processing.
It has been great for his communication and interaction. I would highly recommend Newlife to other families.
