RAISE FUNDS FOR KIDS LIKE GOLDIE
Kelly always dreamed of having a girl, so Goldie felt like a little miracle when she was born. Then one day, when Goldie was just 10 months old, their family GP noticed that something wasn’t quite right. After being referred to a paediatrician, Kelly and Matt were given the life-changing news that Goldie had Rett Syndrome.
“It’s so dreadfully hard, and it just doesn’t end. She cannot walk or use her hands, suffers from scoliosis when she’s in the car, has chest seizures. And then you think you’ve tackled one thing and the next thing pops up. Next, she is having her tonsils and adenoids removed due to severe sleep apnoea. As a parent to a child with Rett Syndrome you hardly ever sleep – it’s like having a newborn.”
Kelly had recently applied for Goldie’s first wheelchair from the NDIS, and while waiting for a decision on her application was encouraged to apply for a vehicle modification for the family car through Variety’s We Move grant. We Move is designed to fill the gaps in funding for kids living with a disability to access life-changing, specialist mobility equipment.
Variety granted Kelly’s application to modify her vehicle to accommodate Goldie’s new wheelchair, giving Goldie more freedom to not only get to her therapy sessions easily, but also join her family on adventures and excursions.
“We wouldn’t be here without Variety, it's just that simple. The red heart means everything to families like ours.”
