Chloe from Chopwell
Seven year old Chloe has uncontrolled epilepsy which can result in up to 90 drop seizures a day. She also suffers autism and as such can not bear to be touched during these attacks. Mum and Dad have to stand by helplessly and watch as she regularly breaks and fractures bones. Chloe, who requires 24 hour care, spent last Christmas in hospital with a broken nose. Just for Kids furnished Chloe’s bedroom with safe soft play flooring and special sensory equipment to help calm her and limit epileptic attacks.
