Hello! My name is Sasha and I am 16 years old. I love Mr Tumble, theme parks and animals. I also have cerebral palsy, which stops me from walking, talking, and using my hands. It doesn't stop me smiling though!

Three times a year, my dad takes me to a therapy called Advanced Biomechanical Rehabilitation (ABR), which aims to improve my posture, helping me to make purposeful movements. This means I have fewer problems with posture as I'm growing up, and so far it has helped me avoid hip surgery.

At home, I have my amazing carer Nubiana who looks after me every day after school. She is lovely, makes me laugh, puts up with my constant requests to change Mr. Tumble episodes, and does most of my ABR therapy.

Any donations towards helping me continue with ABR therapy and covering the cost of my daily care would be gratefully appreciated. The money goes to Tree of Hope, where we use it to fund Sasha's ABR therapy (which costs around £5,000 per year) and to pay for Nubiana, who has made Sasha's and our lives so much better.

Thank you

If we raise insufficient funds, or surplus funds, they will be used, if appropriate, to fund support for our child’s needs in accordance with Tree of Hope’s charitable objectives. If, in those circumstances, we are unable to use all or part of the funds for the benefit of our child, any funds that cannot be used will be transferred to be used for the general charitable purposes of Tree of Hope.
