Chelsea’s story
The team behind the Blue Moon Revue hope the event will raise funds for the Chelsea’s Wishes charity.
Chelsea was born eleven weeks early on 25/02/2012 weighing a tiny 2lbs12oz. When Chelsea was born she suffered two bilateral grade four IVH (bleeds on her brain), this has resulted in Chelsea having extensive brain damage which has shown on her MRI.
Because of these complications they have affected Chelsea in lots of ways: She is not growing properly due to being unable to eat and drink orally, she also has evolving four limb Cerebral Palsy, epilepsy and last of all her sight is very poor due to the brain damage.
Chelsea’s Wishes
Because of all the above Chelsea’s family decided to set up Chelsea’s Wishes to raise funds for a sensory nursery to help improve her quality of life.
They know she reacts to lights and want to work on this to increase her vision and provide a safe stimulating environment; they also want to buy other equipment that can suit her size to help her in other areas.
