For over 20 years, Amanda has been a valued member of our nursery family. As our Financial Administrator, she has been at the heart of our organisation, supporting countless children, families, and colleagues throughout the years. Long before joining our administration team, Amanda was a manager at our Scotswood setting, dedicating her career to helping children thrive and grow.

Many years ago, Amanda brought her own little girl, Chloe, through our nursery doors. Watching Chloe grow from a curious toddler into the remarkable young lady she is today has been a privilege for so many of us who have shared in her journey.

Now 11 years old, Chloe faces challenges every day with extraordinary courage, determination, and a smile that can brighten even the toughest of days. Chloe has cerebral palsy, a condition that affects her movement, balance, and coordination. Everyday tasks that many of us take for granted can require additional support, patience, and perseverance. Yet Chloe never lets her condition define her. Her resilience, positivity, and infectious sense of humour continue to inspire everyone who knows her.

This fundraising campaign has been created to help Chloe access an Exopulse Suit, a specialist piece of equipment designed to help reduce muscle spasticity, stiffness, and chronic pain associated with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy. Earlier this year, Chloe was given the opportunity to trial the suit for two weeks, and the results were nothing short of incredible. Within just 24 hours, her family began to see significant improvements, giving hope for a future with greater comfort, independence, and mobility.

To help make this life-changing equipment a reality, a group of Chloe’s family, friends, and supporters will be taking on a charity walk from Newburn to Tynemouth this August, dressed as superheroes – a fitting tribute to the superhero spirit Chloe shows every single day.

As a nursery family, Chloe’s story is especially close to our hearts. Amanda has spent decades caring for and supporting others, and now we have the opportunity to support her and Chloe in return.

Thank you for taking the time to read Chloe’s story. Every donation, share, and word of encouragement will help bring Chloe one step closer to accessing the support she needs. Your kindness and generosity will make a genuine and lasting difference to the life of a very special young girl and her family.
