Project Message
I saw Andy lying in a plastic chair that was obviously not providing her with the comfort or support she needs. Her body was covered with a towel rather than a proper blanket Who is Running This ProjectContact

Latest Update from the FieldAndee receives a new wheelchair!By Kelly Stevenson - PR/Communication Manager, December 22, 2009 11:03 AM
Special thanks to ARR Japan for providing a new wheelchair to our Andee.
Andee is getting physically stronger as a result of the medicinal and nutritional supplements provided by SEDA, she needed a wheelchair that could help her posture and maneuverability. Her new wheelchair is padded unlike her previous metal chair, giving her more comfort and back support, and also comes with a desk that she can rest her arm on. She is no longer confined to her room, and often goes outside to enjoy her afternoons in the sun and fresh air. While her new chair greatly improves the quality of life for Andee, she still depends on your support to maintain that quality. Andee requires a constant supply of dietary supplements, traditional medicine remedies, diapers, and daily necessities that she is otherwise unable to access without your help. Fortunately, Andee is currently listed under the GlobalGiving UK’s Christmas fund-raising challenge, with prizes up to 2,000 GPB awarded to the most successful participating projects until the end of December. There’s still two more weeks to show your support for SEDA and Andee during the GGUK fund-raising event. Help make this holiday season the best one yet for a special girl who needs your help.
