About

Elodie’s arrival into the world came seven weeks premature in 2021, and she endured the toughest of starts to life as a result of medical negligence during pregnancy. Born with a severe brain injury, little Elodie has since been diagnosed with numerous medical conditions including cerebral palsy, cerebral vision impairment and epilepsy as well as a hearing impairment. Since her birth, Elodie’s family has repeatedly requested support from the NHS for her conditions along with equipment to help with her day-to-day care and development. Sadly, these requests have largely been unsuccessful which has provided a huge source of frustration. Elodie’s Wish was created by her family as they realised that, although there have been incredible advances in modern medicine and technology to aid many of the conditions listed above, the potential for children like Elodie to progress and develop is severely hampered by the lack of availability of those medical and technological advancements through the NHS. Elodie’s Wish hopes to raise awareness and funds to be able to bring treatments such as neurological modulisation, paediatric ophthalmology, physiotherapy, vision therapy and speech and language therapy to the local area to give children like Elodie the best possible chance to live a normal life.
