A NINE-year-old girl from Dalton-in-Furness who suffers from quadriplegic cerebral palsy is appealing for help to buy a powered wheelchair. Mia Fong, the daughter of Janice and Max Fong, have turned to UK children’s disability charity Newlife Foundation for help.
Newlife gives out grants but cannot cover the full cost. If you would like to raise money to help fund Mia’s wheelchair, the Newlife community fundraising team can be contacted on 0800 988 4640 (free from UK landlines).
Any surplus money would be used to provide specialist equipment for another disabled or terminally ill child in Cumbria.
To find out more, call the Nurse Helpline on 0800 902 0095 or email nurses@newlifecharity.co.uk; alternatively go to www.newlifecharity.co.uk
