Samantha with her sit-to-stand wheelchair

18 year-old Samantha required help with funding a powered sit-to-stand wheelchair. She has cerebral palsy resulting in Samantha being totally wheelchair dependent. Her application for funding was supported by a Senior Paediatric Community Physiotherapist stating “Not only will it assist improved bone density, respiratory function, soft tissue structure and reduce bladder infections, but also enable Samantha to have improved eye contact with people and allow her to access the environment from a standing position.”

Samantha’s parents wrote to tell us how grateful the whole family was to the supporters of Children Today and the contribution made to the cost of her powered sit-to-stand wheelchair which cost £14,000.
