Bridging the gap; and what that could mean in the lives of the disabled
This is the "dream" bike that I see for our little Emily. Only a dram at this moment, but it would mean "freedom" to a little girl limited in what she's able to do.
Granted, she loves her little Fisher Price trike, but as a growing 3 year old, she'll soon be grown out of it.
What then?
Bridging the gap between the two; what is there?
She wants to try her sister's bike; but with her unsteady stature....that isn't a possible option
The good of it all, is that she is connected with the right places, At Home Program and Variety (The Children's Charity) but who is to assist as there is only so many funds available?
Starting out very young (4 months) of age, she got her eye glasses and plagiocephaly {sp} helmet at 14 months funded by Variety, everything else was funded through the At Home Program or via the Canadian Red Cross 2 more prescription for eye glasses lenses and one new frames, two sets of leg orthotics, 2 walkers and a grab bar
oh the trials
