Elle’s Angels is a West Midlands based charity and organisation launched to help families and community members recovering after life-threatening accidents or illness with much needed alternative therapy and support. Established by the family and friends of Elle-Mae Davidson who is recovering from brain trauma herself, they experienced first hand the amazing results that alternative therapies can offer, but unfortunately, these can’t be accessed through the NHS. Elle’s Angels have been launched to build a network of support and information for people and family, members rebuilding their lives after life-changing circumstances, with our main focus to raise money to fund regular alternative and conventional therapies to those who need it most
Our team of Angels are committed to ‘support local families in need of an Angel’ by dedicating their time to
organise events and raise money in whatever way they can to help as many children and young adults as possible.
Leah Davidson, Elle’s mom, has made a life long commitment alongside Elle to offer a support system for the local community for families going through life changing circumstances similar to their own. The Angels are, what looks like your average group of mothers, sisters, friends with extraordinary hearts who want to make the lives of others easier fulfilled with the upmost care and love they deserve.
ELLE'S STORY
Having achieved straight A*s at GCSE’s, Martha (Elle) was continuing her A level studies at Girls High School, Wolverhampton, with the highest possible grades projected and University beckoning. In 2013 she went to A&E with severe head pains, after losing one of her closest friends to a similar fate, only to be sent home with stress. She returned three days later whereupon she was eventually scanned and diagnosed as suffering from a recurring brain haemorrhage.
Lots of concern, panic and sadly surgery followed, as did many “complications”. Elle’s family were asked to say their goodbyes on six occasions as she was devastatingly given less than 1% of survival and registered as “Do not resuscitate”. Today, Elle-Mae has defeated the odds and is alive albeit very badly damaged. She has battled back from the edge several times, fought her way out of both the critical and acute care units and ultimately out of the QE Birmingham. She then went to the rehabilitation unit at the Children’s Trust in Tadworth, Surrey where she and “Super-mum” Leah “lived” for almost eighteen months from August 2013. To repeat, against all odds they eventually took their rightful place home just in time for Christmas 2014. The ball in May 2014 was a terrific help in that it raised a fantastic amount of money which went towards the adaptations required to make home a practical possibility. Elle-Mae continues to receive the benefit of and shows positive signs whilst receiving other supplementary treatments daily such as Physiotherapy, Reflexology, Reiki and Acupuncture.
Today, Elle continues to amaze those who know her with the determination she demonstrates and the improvements she makes daily. She has inspired and continues to inspire people she encounters with her strength and beautiful nature.
