Yasmin is aged 5 from Edgware, London. She was born on time with no problems, but after a year, she was diagnosed with the genetic disorder chromosomes 8p inverted duplication deletion. This is an anomaly characterized clinically by mild to severe intellectual deficit, severe developmental delay, global developmental delays and hypotonia with tendency to develop progressive hypotonia and severe orthopaedic problems.

Yasmin can not sit, crawl nor walk yet, but she is determined to work hard. To support Yasmin she needs regular intensive therapies like hydro and physio therapy. These therapies will help her to get strong, improve her muscle tone and increase her core strengths and stability. To support Yasmin with her global development delays and speech delay she needs occupational therapy as well.

I hope Yasmin's wish will come true one day to be able to walk, play and run with her friends in the park. She is really determined to work hard to start to do first steps.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards

Lena and Yasmin
