We are reaching out to you with a story of courage, hope, and resilience embodied by a remarkable young girl named Anne. We seek your support to continue her inspiring journey towards a brighter future.
Anne’s life journey began with adversity as she lost her father at an early age, leaving her in the care of her widowed mother and five siblings. What makes Anne’s story even more remarkable is that she was born with cerebral palsy, requiring specialized care, support, and services like physiotherapy. Unfortunately, her mother’s situation made it exceedingly difficult to provide for Anne’s unique needs.
At the tender age of 2, Anne was brought to our institution by children’s services, recognizing our expertise in assisting children with special needs. When she joined us, Anne faced significant challenges – she couldn’t stand, feed herself, or communicate effectively.
Since her arrival at our institution, Anne has made incredible strides. Through dedicated physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions, she has learned to sit on regular chairs, stand with the aid of specialized equipment, and feed herself. In addition to therapy, Anne is actively engaged in our individual education program, which covers personal grooming, hygiene, language development, psychomotor activities, reading, writing, and creative arts such as beadwork and clay work.
Our mission for Anne is clear: to equip her with the essential skills of daily living that will enable her to become self-reliant and lead a fulfilling life.
Your sponsorship can make all the difference in Anne’s life. It will provide her with access to palliative care, a comprehensive healthcare plan, and opportunities for rehabilitation, vocational training, and special education – all during the critical early years when these interventions can have the most profound impact on her growth and development.
We earnestly request your love and support to empower Anne on her journey towards independence and self-reliance. Your generosity will ensure that she receives the necessary assistance to overcome her challenges and achieve her full potential.
