A little girl from Seaton is short of funds to pay for an adapted trike which will allow her to experience independence and freedom.
Seven-year-old Jaydi Rose Hawker, whose body size resembles that of a four-year-old’s, has ligase IV microcephalic primordial dwarfism - a condition which affects her growth. Jaydi is around 3ft and is not expected to grow much taller.
Despite her petite size, Jaydi, who is sight impaired, has hearing issues and hip dysplasia, is determined not to resort to sitting in a buggy and dreams of a comfortable, secure specialised trike to call her own.
