A helping hand for Jessica

A gift from the Sunshine Fund benefits a whole family.

Jessica Finley’s disability presents a great deal of challenges to her and her family.

The five-year-old suffers from cerebral palsy and sensory problems which mean many everyday tasks are a massive struggle.

She often finds herself frustrated as she is unable to use play equipment that other children enjoy, and always requires adult supervision.

But the Sunshine Fund has lent a helping hand to the family by funding a specially adapted sandpit and see-saw. The equipment allows Jessica to sit over it in her wheelchair without being supervised.

Jessica’s mum and dad, Beverley and Michael, hope that the new equipment will allow her to take part in the play she often misses out on with her sister, Amber, and will give them some respite when she is playing.
