The 16-year-old underwent spinal surgery four years ago that went wrong, leaving her with a spinal cord injury
A mum from Co Down is fundraising for a specialised wheelchair that would be life-changing for her disabled daughter.
Due to her condition, the teenager has essentially been housebound for the past four years and requires repositioning every two hours, as she is unable to sit in her current wheelchair for any longer than this at one time. "It would be completely life-changing as we would be able to get her out of the house, she has been housebound for the past four years following her spinal surgery," mum Natalie told Belfast Live.
"This new wheelchair is the only one available we can find that lies completely flat. It means we will be able to get Natasha out of the house and stop her from being housebound. "Natasha not being able to go out on family days has caused a wee bit of a divide, because our son felt a lot of pressure as he's not able to do the things we once did as a family.
