We offer hope to families to transform the lives of sick children
Story
In case you are not aware of 5yr old Billy Douglas from N.Ireland. Here is a brief run down of why we are raising money, along with a few links for you to watch.
I would really like you to get to know Billy
better, therefore have included a couple of video's for you to watch at
your leisure. In the hope that people will support their efforts, in helping
Billy achieve his dream of running around the play ground with his
friends.............
The appeal started in Dec 2011, when Billy was given the devastating news of his brain damage. The family had a couple of months to raise £50k. If not, their pride and joy would be in a wheelchair for life......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMA3f5vfpvo Through hard work and lots of begging, the money was raised and Aug 2012 Billy had his operation....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBhLEH5E7eA
Four hard hours of rehab, daily for the next 3yrs along with hydro pool
lessons, horse riding and many many items of equipment were needed. But
at a cost of £80 an hour just for his physio alone his family
struggled. They were simply too busy with Billy to fund raise
anymore...... Billy's mum left work and the hard work begun.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBhLEH5E7eA Now 20mths on and 1yr left. Billy's family have asked for a bit of help, to help to fund his final year.
As his needs have changed, he needs different equipment etc. All of
this comes at a huge cost. So the family have an amazing charity backing
them and allowing them to have all donations go via them. The charity
then inturn buy whatever Billy needs. Amazing eah :)... So please
watch Billy's updated video here and watch how far he has come over the
past 2yrs. With your help, support and donations. You can make the
difference needed for Billy to achieve his dreams of playing and
training with his able bodied friends... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpqMAV-Ljs0
