Funding desperately needed to continue providing supports for families of disabled children in Palmerston North
Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui
In 2004 we fostered a baby boy with sever disabilities. He is the youngest of our 5 children. My husband and I struggled to find supports and services that Ryan required to help with every day life.
In 2020 our youngest daughter gave birth to identical twins. Sadly one of the two little girls didn't survive, the other was left with cerebral palsy. We did not want our granddaughter to miss out as Ryan had. So we created the Little Stars Centre, a place where families feel supported and have equitable access to professional therapy their children require to reach their full potential.
Our motto is: Whole child, Whole family, Whole life.
Little Stars is an early intervention therapy centre for children with physical and intellectual challenges. Little stars was created in response to our son and granddaughter having limited access to the appropriate level of services.
