    Story

    Life # 99 - Josey, a 14 year old girl from Hull

    This week, we want to help change the life of a 14 year old girl from Hull called Josey. Josey has Caravans disease - it is very rare inherited disease that damages the ability of the nerve cells brain to send and receive messages and results in the slow degeneration of her brain.

    Josey can only communicate through eye movement and noises. She suffers with spasticity in her legs and arms as well as a curved spine which is causing her lots of pain. She also has seizures and very poor vision so is registered blind. Josey has feeding problems and gastro-oesophageal reflux.

    Despite all her many challenges, Josey is a typical 14 year old - very smiley and cheeky, has a crush on Chris Hewsworth, loves music, art, her brother’s dog and her little sister. Josey did love going to school but is unable to go now. It is a struggle to get her out of the house because of all the equipment etc she needs.
    She spends a lot of time on her IPad ,as this is the only device or toy she is able to use due to her mobility.

    Her parents left their jobs to care for their daughter full time. The family support worker who nominated Josey said that her they are such proud and caring people whose main aim in life now is to keep Josey comfortable, happy, free from distress and out of hospital.

    Josey’s condition will continue to deteriorate and she already spends the majority of her time in bed, as this is the most comfortable for her.

    Her bedroom is in poor condition, and has also become the family main room as they don't like to leave her on her own. Her parents have been trying to save up to improve it. But most of their money goes on essentials, such as Josey’s medical equipment, clothes and bedding (which regularly need to be replaced).

    This is a family in desperate need of kindness and, with your help, we want to decorate Joseys room to make it somewhere magical and amazing for her to spend her time.

        I hope that Josey will enjoy the changes to her room and that her parents can enjoy a treat and a brief respite from all the emotional demands that are placed on them. Very Best Wishes to the family.
