Ellie Bartram

Ellie BartramTony and Sarah Bartram both worked in our industry in the insurance sector and have four wonderful children. Their eldest daughter Ellie is eight years old and has Cystic Fibrosis, a life limiting and life threatening condition that attacks the lungs and other body tissues

Ellie needs daily physiotherapy to keep her lungs clear and this constant regime can be distressing.  She has a trampoline which really helps her breathing and she loves it.  However Tony and Sarah were concerned about her using it as they felt the garden wasn't safe.  BEN stepped in and provided a grant to sort the garden out and Ellie is bouncing safely once more.

The family also needed to have their house adapted for Ellie's needs.  Although they received help from the Local Authority there was a lot of work still to be done after the adaptations were completed, so we have helped with that too.  Ellie is thrilled with her new room and the whole family is delighted to be home now the work has been finished.
