Help Rhiwbina’s Beti get her assistance dog
May
There are many stories behind closed doors but for one Rhiwbina schoolgirl, life is a daily struggle.
11-year-old Beti suffered a brain tumour as a small child and lives with autism, a learning disability, hydrocephalus, and is tube-fed. She also endures the devastating after-effects of cancer treatment. She is a bereaved child; her father, a serving police officer, sadly and unexpectedly, died of a heart attack at the age of 41. Despite everything, she faces each day with courage and a spark of joy that inspires everyone who knows her.
Mum Natalie told Rhiwbina Living:
“Beti is an extraordinary 11-year-old who faces more challenges than most of us can ever imagine.
“An assistance dog would be truly life-changing for Beti, offering her emotional support, helping with daily tasks, increasing her independence, and simply being a loyal friend through everything she faces.
“Although Beti has been accepted for an assistance dog, we need to raise £14,000 to help cover the cost of its training and care. As a widowed mum, I’m doing everything I can – but we can’t do this alone.”
Natalie has set up a fundraiser page to help Beti get her own assistance dog from Autism Dogs Charity.
“Please consider supporting our journey. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to giving Beti the companion she so greatly needs. And if you can’t donate, sharing our story means the world to us too. Thank you for your kindness, support, and belief in Beti,” added Natalie.
