Taranaki

Hi, I’m Aubree, also known as Aubree Strawberry, and I need your help!

I am a joyful 2-year-old with a big smile and an even bigger heart. I have been diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay. My brain didn’t develop properly while I was in mummy’s tummy. This has caused me to be quite behind in many areas of my development.

My Journey So Far

Despite my challenges, I am a determined little girl. I learned to sit up when I was 2 and recently started rolling from back to front. I have low muscle tone in my core, which makes it hard for me to move around like other kids my age. I cannot transition into any positions, this is something I would like to work on. I also have very few words but love to babble and make sounds – something I am eager to improve.

The Next Step: Intensive Therapy

My Mum and Dad have found a fantastic opportunity for me to attend a three-week intensive therapy course at NAPA (Neurological and Physical Abilitation) Australia. This program, could make a huge difference in my development. However, the cost is quite high:

How You Can Help

Your support can help me get the therapy I need to thrive. By donating, you are giving me the chance to improve my physical abilities, enhance my communication skills, and reach important developmental milestones.

Every Little Bit Counts

No donation is too small. Every dollar brings me closer to the therapy that could change my life. Your generosity will help me gain the skills I need to grow, learn, and play like other kids my age.

Thank you!  1 September 2025

I just want to thank everyone so very much for their donations. It was exactly the boost Aubree needed. With 10 new words and being able to go up the stairs assisted and being more comfortable on her knees.

There have been so many improvements that has made this intensive well worth it.
