About

We’re back on track, thanks to two incredible donations of £5,000 each! These generous gifts have reignited our journey toward raising £18,000 to fund a life-changing oxygen chamber for my daughter, Elodie. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is showing real promise for children with brain injuries like Elodie’s. It works by increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to damaged or dormant brain cells—giving them the chance to "wake up" and function more effectively. This increased oxygen supply can support healing, reduce inflammation, and promote neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to form new connections). For children with cerebral palsy (CP), early studies and clinical reports have shown that HBOT may lead to: Reduced spasticity (muscle tightness) Improved gross motor skills (such as sitting, crawling, walking) Enhanced fine motor control (grasping, reaching) Better cognitive function, attention, and even speech Improved sleep, mood, and overall quality of life While research is ongoing, many families report positive outcomes and increased quality of life after HBOT. 🎥 To understand more about Elodie’s journey, please watch this short video we created for the Yorkshire Children’s Charity, who generously helped us secure a wheelchair: https://we.tl/t-1gVGNTw58N Elodie faces daily challenges—including cerebral palsy and epilepsy—but she’s an incredibly resilient little girl. We’re now trying to purchase a two-person HBOT chamber, so I can accompany her during treatment, ensuring she feels safe and supported: 🫧 View the chamber here The total cost comes to £18,000 (plus VAT, delivery, training, masks, etc.). It's a daunting number for our family, but with the kindness of people like you, we believe we can make this happen. What makes this effort even more powerful is our intention to share the chamber with other families in Hull who are in similar situations. We know too many children affected by complications at Hull Royal Infirmary—and we want this to be a resource that brings wider healing and hope. 🌟 You can read more of Elodie’s story and support her through our fundraising page: https://www.givey.com/elodieswish Thank you for being part of Elodie’s journey. With heartfelt thanks, Tasha and Elodie 💙
