Little Lilly needs our help to endlessly battle Rett Syndrome

Northland

About Little Lilly,

Hello, my name is Lilly, I’m 8 years old and i live in Whangarei.

I attend mainstream school and my best friend is Dimeena and my doggy Cable. I love to explore and in my spare time I like to go the beach, walks, swimming, fishing, kayaking, camping, riding a horse, bike or motorbike, and spending quality time with friends and family.

At the age of 7 years i was diagnosed with RETT SYNDROME. This is a progressive, degenerative and non-curable, neurodevelopemental disorder that displays a combination of serve symptoms. I will now need extensive input, therapy and support for the rest of my life

This has now meant i have limits and can no longer run or talk. I cannot walk, eat, sleep or breathe properly and i continuously suffer from muscle spasms and dehabilitating pain. Although this Diagnoses is life changing, my mummy and i try really hard to accomplish day-to-day living and accomplishments.

My Muscle Spasms are the most annoying, as they are very sore and frequent, morning and night. Being active helps regulate her muscle spasms, is one part of my Alternative Medicine Plan. I would like funds to support my mummy and me in efforts to lessen my pain and excite my shortened lifestyle.

Use of funds

We will create a wishlist for this, please check updates for Lilly's Wish for our list!

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.

Hey Jessica. I had an absolute blast speaking with you today on the phone. It was great getting to know you, your passions and your love for your amazing daughter. You were so inspiring and making this donation for you and Lilly definitely brings a spark to my life. I understand that I'm not donating much but I definitely want to contribute at least $100 by the end of the year. I speak to people every day to help inspire them but today I am happy to say that you've inspired me and the joy I get from giving to you and Lilly brings me so much happiness. Thank you so much Jessica :)
