We are very proud to have changed the lives of many children and young people with disabilities and autism for the better and we would like to thank you for your generous support.
Mobility Equipment Service
Last year we provided the highest number of items of mobility equipment ever for disabled children and young people. We are still experiencing an unprecedented number of applications and simply could not have helped so many families without support like yours.
Boronica’s New Trike
Boronica is a delightful young girl living with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. Despite the challenges she faces, Boronica's infectious smile and love for life shine through in everything she does. Recently, Boronica underwent a significant procedure called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR). As part of her intensive rehabilitation programme, her physiotherapist recommended a specialised trike to aid in her recovery and ongoing development.
Boronica's family reached out to AFK for assistance in acquiring a Theraplay Trike in her favourite colour - pink! This trike isn't just any ordinary piece of equipment; it's a crucial tool in Boronica's rehabilitation journey, helping her build strength, improve coordination, and boost her independence.
We were so thrilled to be able to support Boronica and her family by providing this essential piece of equipment. The pink Theraplay Trike has quickly become Boronica's favourite mode of transport!
The impact of this equipment on Boronica's life has been significant. Her mother shared their gratitude, saying, "We thank you again very much for providing this item to our family." The trike has not only aided in Boronica's rehabilitation but has also brought joy to her daily life.
The family's appreciation for the support they received is evident in their feedback. Boronica's mother concluded with heartfelt thanks: "Thank you again for all your help."
The impact of the trike goes beyond just physical therapy. It's opened up new opportunities for Boronica to play and interact with her little brother Bato. Boronica's determination and the specialised trike we’ve provided showcase how targeted support can significantly improve a child's life.
As she progresses in her rehabilitation, this equipment will continue to play a crucial role in her development and happiness.
I hope that this story highlights the difference your gifts make.
Everyone at AFK sends a huge thank on behalf of the children, young people and families your support helps.
