“My youngest daughter was born with cerebral palsy so she is wheelchair bound 24/7. We looked into specialist chairs but these things aren't cheap. It was badly needed to help us go out as a family. @FelixFund was one charity who helped with the cost & we are so grateful.”

“Having served as a AT I was medically discharged. I was told I needed bilateral hearing aids. NHS versions do the job but are clunky & intrusive & made me self-conscious. I asked @FelixFund for help in purchasing more suitable devices. I can now hear & feel more confident.”
