Your donations help families like Stav’s – when they needed help buying a new wheelchair for Daisy, your generosity meant we could be there for them.

Daisy is the eldest daughter of Stav, who served in the Parachute Regiment, and his wife, Sally. She was born with a rare chromosome disorder that affects her swallowing, communication, mobility, and daily life. Daisy cannot speak, can walk only a few steps, and sometimes requires tube feeding.
The family works hard to give Daisy the same opportunities as her brother and sister. They adapted their home to meet her needs, but one key challenge remained: getting outdoors together. Daisy’s NHS wheelchair could manage pavements, but not woodland paths, grass, or uneven ground. This meant that ordinary activities – walks, trips to parks, playing outside with her siblings – were either difficult or impossible.
Sally said: “It reached the point where we couldn’t all go out together. Daisy just couldn’t join in.”
Thanks to our supporters, the ABF was able to provide a £5,000 grant towards a specialist all-terrain wheelchair, allowing the family to purchase the equipment they needed.
This was only possible thanks to supporters like you.
As Stav sums up, “It’s taken away a lot of stress. Daisy can be part of things now, and that means a lot to us.”
