Description

We would like you to meet very a special brother and sister who need your help. Please sponsor their family to raise funds in The Developing Foundation’s annual Riverwalk being held at Orleigh Park West End on 12 September 2010 at 10am.

Hi! I'm Tallis and I'm five!

I have Cerebral Palsy and Autism. Everyone says that I'm a very big kid for my age. I'm tall and solid. It is getting very difficult for Mum to get me in and out of the car from my wheelchair now and it'll just get harder as I get even bigger. That's why we are going to be getting a new vehicle that has to be modified so that I can stay in my wheelchair. I need this so that I can still get out and about in the community. I love going to the park and go on the liberty swing in my chair, the shops, visiting friends and families’ homes. I don't want this to keep hurting my Mum's back so much. Please help me to be able to keep doing what I love and to enjoy getting out and about like everyone else. Modifications to vehicles can cost up to $17,000 depending on the car that we can afford. It's not a choice anymore it's a necessity.

Hi! I'm Jazmine and I'm Tallis' little sister.

I'm six and a half months old but I am only supposed to be three months old. I was born very early at twenty-six weeks gestation. I have bad brain injuries that the doctors have said will manifest in severe disability but we are just waiting to see what happens. In the meantime we will be starting Conductive Education appointments which cost money. The Government will be funding some of the appointments but we still have to contribute a small fee but over a year that adds up. Please help me have the best start in combating the results of my brain injury.

If you are unable to make a donation there are other ways to help, for example:

• Send the children’s page to your family and friends

• Come along to the Riverwalk
