Story
This one's personal. Just4Children are fundraising for an amazing little man, Oisin, to have a Trexo - a wearable robotic that will assist him experience walking with proper body alignment preventing further surgery. It will help him reach his full potential and live a happy life.
He has battled against the odds with multiple infections, sepsis several times, suspected NEC, renal failure, hypoalbuminia, broncomalacia, retinopathy of prematurity, ventriculomegaly to name just a few. He still remains tube fed and is on oxygen at night.
Oisín has quadriplegic cerebral palsy among other conditions. This means he has difficulties with muscle control, balance and coordination, so simple things such as sitting without support is extremely difficult. He’s incredibly determined and tries so hard every day to learn these things.
Essentially he has the potential IF we put in enough early intervention, but sadly the NHS can’t provide what he need. The fact is Oisin needs this help and we have now realised we need help to raise the funds to give him the potential to succeed and provide Oisín with the specialist equipment and therapies he needs to help him reach his full potential and live a happy life.
