BENEFICIARIES
It has been a very busy year at MAD Foundations beneficiaries desk! Thanks to the
amazing generosity of MADs sponsors, donors and partners, we have been able to
Make A Difference to the lives of more than 50 children and their families. Here are
just 2 of the many thank-yous MAD receives throughout the year.
CASE
01
Ellie
has a diagnosis of Wolf-Hirshorn syndrome with associated
global developmental delay, epilepsy, hearing impairment, postural
abnormalities and a vision impairment. She requires maximum
assistance for all activities of daily living. Ellie currently sleeps in
a standard cot that she has outgrown and it is unsafe. She currently
pulls herself into a standing position in her cot and is at very high
risk of falling out of her cot head first (as the cot rails come up
to her hip height) or falling backwards and hitting her head.
Ellie requires a bed that is safe and secure with high sides so that
Ellie can not pull herself up and fall out of as she is not safe without
full support and supervision of an adult.
FUNDING REQUIRED: $11,919 this was the gap between SWEP funding
& full cost of item.

CASE
02
Tom had a trial of the scooter a few weeks ago and he loved it.
After talking to his mum she said that with this scooter there would
be so many things they could do as a family that they havent been
able to do since Toms mobility has decreased.
This is a family that is so thankful for any help they receive and
just want the best for their son. Waiting for funding for the scooter
through SWEP for 12 months is less than desirable and means that
Tom will miss out on so many things during this time.
As Toms condition is degenerative we dont know for certain how
Tom will be in 12 months so we would love for him to have the
scooter as soon as possible.
MAD Foundation provided $8500 to fund the purchase of a
4-wheeled scooter for Tom. This was the message we received
from his mum via his Case Manager:
21 August 2015
Oh My Good Golly,
I really cant believe that how amazing.
Everyone involved are all total angels.
I now cant wait to get home to tell Tom, he will be totally
ecstatic. It couldnt have come at a better time as over the last
couple of weeks he has been on a big downer and frustrated
and concerned (we certainly wont be able to keep him home
now ha-ha).
Thank you to you both for all the hard work and research you
have done on this for Tom. Robert and myself understand the
hard work you put into these things for Tom and we thank
you from the bottom of our hearts.
Again thank you, thank you.
