Kaitlyn's Wish

While glancing at the television a few nights ago a news story caught my attention. It was about a five year old girl called Kaitlyn who has a condition which makes it difficult for her to walk. She has spent many hours in physiotherapy to get to the level now where she is able to walk for very short distances with the aid of walking sticks, a task which she could previously only accomplish with the help of a walking frame. The condition this determined young girl has is called Cerebral Palsy Diplegia.


Wonderfully, she has been chosen as a candidate for surgery at the St. Louis Children's Hospital which is likely to give her the ability to walk. Unfortunately for Kaitlyn, her family cannot afford the medical costs for her to have this surgery.


In an attempt to raise money for Kaitlyn's surgery her family are going to extraordinary lengths, and are overwhelmed with people's generous contributions towards Kaitlyn's wish.
