Although Maisie-May isn’t able to walk herself, this Christmas day, she will be racing
around her home like any other excited child, by controlling her specially designed, electric powered chair, Bugzi.
Maisie-May has a rare genetic condition that has resulted in delayed growth and development, including underdeveloped muscles. Her parents thought she may never get the chance to put her sassy, determined personality into action. But since Maisie-May was fitted for her own Bugzi, she’s shown everyone exactly what she’s capable of.
Now, Maisie-May is getting ready for the school nativity with her classmates. As her mum told us, “This year, she’ll be driving on stage in her Bugzi, which we are so excited about! She loves the spotlight.”
Every Bugzi can be refurbished and adapted to support up to three disabled children in its lifetime, meaning a Bugzi is the gift that keeps on giving – day after day, year after year, child after child. Please donate below to help gift another child the joy of independence.
