Walk-n-Roll

19/10/2024

It’s certainly been a week of ups and downs but this is food for the soul and solidifies all my choices for changes and a new way forward in life.

It is never easy changing priorities and finding new routes to success but doing the same old s**t over and over is not healthy or happy place to be either.
To be able to work on Poppy’s journey to independence and achieve more of our goals as a family is the only path to be on and the right path to follow.

This is all the proof that’s needed - this is pure joy 🤩

We are now literally walking and rolling again!!
(Not in a business way as I am still not working, we are just looking for furry family support)

All my supporters know just how difficult it has been to access the independent living and adaptations needed for poppy and we have been busy this year setting up a fundraiser.

This will change for our life as a family.

If you could give us a like and follow on the Popstar page we would wuff you forever! 🐾🐾

We apologise for being quiet but we have been making some many huge steps forward for Poppy and her family.

We have taken delivery of our WAV van and it is a dream come true!

We waited a long time to get the right adaptations and fittings to suit inside the van and with £20,000 needed just for the inside work on top of the price of the van, it was a very long slog to secure help with funding.

We are lucky enough to have secured the adaptations via Motability scheme and now we are all on the road and ready to adventure again!

With poppy’s needs and mums back issues, life was becoming increasingly difficult to manage most day today tasks!
Not being able to lift or move any of poppy’s equipment meant we were very restricted with where we could do and what we could do BUT and a big happy BUT now we have freedom again!!

It has been life changing for all of us and we can’t wait to explore and adventure as a family!

We have so many other fantastic steps and progress stories to share with you all, as well as the next leg of fundraising events.

🌟🌟🌟🌟
Your support has been truly inspirational to our family and given us the focus and determination to take life from a new angle and that is full of smiles and successes 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Hellooooo all my lovely followers -
Unfortunately my injury has not improved and I have been unable to return to walking.

I have been stuck in a vicious cycle with our Local Authority for years about my Daughter’s needs for adaptations.

Poppy has cerebral palsy, dystonia and is deaf with a cochlear implant.

Despite being told she would have no quality of life whatsoever, as her mum and with her determination - we have smashed every limitation placed on Poppy by medical speciliast.

She has defied the odds in every single way possible, and all we want as a family is to provide her a safe and independent environment to work toward me and independent future of her very own.

If you would have the time to please like and share our fundraiser far and wide 🐾❤️🌟🐾🌟❤️

Friendships are everything in life and when you find your tribe, you just feel it.

Leaving Phab camp at Bendrigg was emotional for poppy this year, having made so many amazing connections.

Phab have been a life changing supportive charity and have brought out poppy’s confidence and determination again.

Although the last few years have been rough for her, she is fighting back with that gorgeous smile and big big future plans.

Please donate and help our wee Popstar build her dream of independent living ✨✨

Happy Monday and Happy first full week back to school for all the Scottish kiddos!

Poppy has had the most wonderful and challenging summer holidays, full of adventures and pushing her abilities while she stayed in a fully accessible and wonderful facility called Bendrigg Trust.

Teenage camp has been life changing in so many ways for poppy.
She had grown in confidence, having and being able to use all facilities independently.
This has been the hardest part to overcome come the last 5 years of having no suitable or safe home adaptations.

In a setting she was able to flourish and prove how important environment is to progress and drive!

She’s climbing mountains again and with all our help and support her life will keep getting better and better.

We are all so proud of you Poppy Popstar ✨✨✨
Keep being you and our wee family, the three amigos can achieve anything we dream of. ❤️❤️
