'Beautiful' charity walk for nine-year-old girl trying to lead independent life
['Matt Rooks-Taylor']
Basingstoke Gazette | News
Basic actions like moving independently and talking at the same time are not possible for Malita due to her condition, quadriplegic cerebral palsy.
With a target of £20,000, the fundraiser has so far raised more than £3,300, to help purchase Malita an Eye Gaze-powered wheelchair that is not available on the NHS.
The plan is to purchase Malita a new Ability Drive wheelchair that uses this technology to allow her to drive it.
“Several years ago, I did a collection for Malita’s Eye Gaze, but never met her due to Covid.
“I suggested to Dily’s about a sponsored walk and we were able to sort it with help from Chineham Village Club.
