Arias journey

December 4, 2015 marked one of the scariest days in any parents life. Pauline and then 2 yr old Aria were innocent victims of a road rage fueled crash that resulted in them being cut from their unrecognizable car and serious injuries to Pauline.

Following the accident that left her mum seriously injured, Aria was assessed at hospital and discharged with no follow up or help being put in place.

Nearly 5 years on, the once healthy and happy 2 year old, has suffered long lasting impacts and

significant trauma from that day. She needs help and rehab to give back some of the childhood that she was robbed of in the crash.

Unfortunately they have been sorely let down by the medical system, resulting in many broken promises of appointments and assessments and rehabilitation that have yet to come to fruition. These battles to get her the help she needs have been ongoing for years. Aria cant be made to wait any longer!
