Wheelchair Fundraiser

Jim Davis and Jo Hayward

Available for over a year

Like most 2 year old toddlers, Scarlett Jackson from Braunstone is busy trying to find her feet and feel her way in the world. Unlike most 2 year olds however, Scarlett has Spina Bifida. She was born with a hole in her back and was operated on at just 1 day old. Despite all the set backs, she is growing up fast, and her mum Gemma is keen for Scarlett to have as normal a childhood as possible. So, to allow her to get about a bit more freely, Scarlett needs a wheelchair. Wheelchairs though are costly and so her family have set up a fund raising page to try and raise the £2000 she needs to buy one for herself.
