Bay toddler seeks support
Her family will be hosting a fund-raiser to help raise funds for specialised equipment to aid her mobility.
DIAGNOSED with a rare muscle disorder has not dampened little Tae Hope Kotiah’s fun-loving and feisty personality.
Having fun, laughing and playing is at the top of the two-year-old’s agenda despite fighting congenital myopathy and her family is hosting a fund-raiser this Saturday to help raise funds for specialised equipment to aid her mobility.
Her mother Val Kotiah says Tae is active but needs support and supervision as she cannot walk or crawl.
With no cure or treatment available, Kotiah confirms that the little girl needs constant physiotherapy and specialised equipment to help her to sit, stand and to be mobile.
‘Tae’s neck is very floppy and she needs support to do everything, if we can acquire the specialised equipment this will give her more independence and mobility.
‘She is so intelligent, it is just that she cannot move around on her own.
A fund-raiser, which was scheduled to take place today (Saturday) has been postponed until further notice.
