Horatios garden rehabilitation centre for spinal traumas

My mum has been in hospital for 11 months now after a terrible car accident where she broke her neck and back. She was in intensive care for a while and we didn’t think she would ever walk again. The staff in llandough have been amazing teaching her to use her hands again, to sit up to move her arms and most recently to take some steps aided which is amazing and we are so so proud.

It has been such a worrying and stressful time for all the family but the horatios garden area has brought some form of normality for us all where we can all sit with my mum and others out in a beautiful garden area and make her feel happy and for a moment make her forget about the trauma.

It has been great for mum to get together with the other patients and they share their experiences and support each other. They hold all sorts of art and craft classes and singers and harp players etc which really has been a brilliant aid for all the patients to aid in their recovery.

Therefore I'm raising money in aid of Horatio's Garden and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
