A DAY nursery at Stretton has raised £550 for the children’s charity, Just 4 Children.
Several fundraising events were held at Kids Planet Day Nursery resulting in a cheque for £550 being presented to the charity, who provide support for families to help their children with disabilities and sickness.
The money raised is helping Elsa Sherlock who attends the Tarporley Road nursery and who was born suddenly at 35 weeks after contracting Listeria Sepsis.
As Elsa grew, she failed to meet her milestones and at age three, after an MRI scan, was diagnosed with PVL (damage to the brain) which led to her having Cerebral Palsy.
The funds will help cover the costs of various therapies and for equipment to allow Elsa to carry out a physio programme at home to help her master climbing stairs, running, jumping and walking longer distances.
Nursery manager Sarah Fostersaid: “We’re so grateful to our families who have helped us raised such an amazing amount of money to help Elsa with the various therapies and equipment she requires”.
Further funds raised at last month’s Christmas Fair will also be donated to the charity.
