Just4Children are fundraising to provide Anaya with a Trexo to give her confidence, independence, strength and to improve her quality of life.
Anaya, a young heart warrior is fighting everyday to overcome the challenges of CHD and complications that followed a life saving surgery.
Anaya is a bright and joyful 4‑year‑old from Birmingham living with CHD. She loves playing, swimming, and exploring the outdoors. At just 3 months old, she underwent a life‑saving BTT shunt surgery. Although the surgery itself was successful, she suffered a cardiac arrest 24 hours later, resulting in a brain injury. This injury has caused significant delays in her development, particularly with her gross motor skills.
Despite these challenges, Anaya has shown incredible determination. With the support of private physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, she has worked hard to sit independently and continue progressing towards her full potential. Her resilience is remarkable. Recently, she bravely underwent her second open‑heart surgery. For this surgery to remain successful—and for her to enjoy the best quality of life—it is crucial that she stays active. Walking would play a vital role in helping her achieve this.
Just4Children are fundraising to give her the best possible chance to overcome the challenges she faces daily. A Trexo device would help keep her body aligned, build core strength, and support her ability to walk. It would also help protect her heart by allowing her to exercise safely, build stamina, and strengthen her muscles. With physiotherapists guiding her, a Trexo would enable her to take real steps and train her body to walk. Over time, this would give her the greatest opportunity to discover whether independent walking is possible for her future.
All donations will go through the Just4Children charity, who will then provide the funds directly to the Trexo supplier. As the cost of a Trexo is extremely high and not covered by the NHS, your support would mean the world. Any contribution—big or small—will help Anaya continue her journey and enjoy life to the fullest.
