Dear Physcap.
When we found out about George, he was 6 weeks old. Andrew and I were staring at a picture of his brain. I remember panicking, trying to process what holes in Georges brain would mean for him. What it would mean for George’s brother Tommy, for Andrew, for me and all our futures. It was too much. I shut it out and instead focussed on hope. Hoping that despite missing a chunk of his brain he would be ok. That doctor’s opinion would be wrong. Hope got me through the first few months, then gradually as each milestone was missed my unrealistic hope was squished milestone by milestone.
The wheelchair bike has given us a new type of hope, a more solid realistic type of hope. Hope that despite having disabilities, Despite being unable to sit or walk independently or talk, George can experience more, that his world can be bigger, brighter , more enriching. Life isn’t about what George can’t do , its about what, with a bit of help George can do. Equipment like this makes George’s future look more interesting, more fulfilling and enriching. It makes our family’s life seem brighter.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for fueling that hope, helping us turning that hope into a reality, enabling George to lead a more fulfilling enriched life, to experience what other able body children experience.
Thank you for making us as a family feel supported.
Thank you for making a difference to one family’s life.
And above all thank you for enabling George to get out and about more, experience more fresh air, experience sensation of bike riding.
With love,
Susie and Andrew. X
