Help our family continue to get Alayna her life-changing therapy

$4,776 of $7,000 goal
Given by 83 generous donors in around 7 months

Help Alayna get to the 3 week intensive therapy she desperately needs to live a full and independent life.

Whangaparaoa, Auckland

Alayna is 4 years old and has a rare genetic disorder called CACNA1A (see youtube link for info) in addition to an eye movement disorder (tonic up gaze), Global developmental delay and Cerebral Palsy (low muscle tone, hypo & hypertonic CP)... but she doesn't let her diagnosis get in her way. She is such a determined little girl and has such a strong will (much like her 2 older sisters!) If you have been following Alayna's journey, you will know that in the past 2 years, we were incredibly blessed to be able to attend the Intensive Therapy programs at The Centre of Movement in Australia twice (once each year). The results were amazing. Alayna made such great gains and we as parents learned so much about how her body works and what exercises will benefit her to get her as independent as possible. Thankfully, the Centre Of Movement has opened a clinic in Rotorua, New Zealand, just a few hours drive from where we live! This therapy (Dynamic movement Integration) sees best results when done at least 3 times per year so fundraising will be ongoing for us for as long as she should require. We are praying for a miracle for Alayna. Please help make this a part of her reality. No donation is too small.
