Heartbroken parents pledge to take little Leeds girl 'to see the ocean and Christmas lights' before she goes blind
The heartbroken parents of a little Leeds girl diagnosed with a rare form of childhood dementia have pledged to make as many memories as possible for he -including seeing the ocean and Christmas lights, before she goes blind.
In desperation her family applied for an equipment grant to Newlife the Charity for Disabled Children, providing specialist equipment and support to disabled and terminally ill children. Now, thanks to Newlife, Connie has a safe and comfortable specialist buggy to attend medical appointments in and have as many visual experiences as possible, before her sight fades completely.
“The tyres on the buggy can handle all terrains and the buggy even has weather proofing we can use – which her old wheelchair didn’t – which makes a huge difference. Now we can go anywhere we want and give her all those great experiences and live in the moment so we can make memories.
