Elena, age 3, has down syndrome and struggles with a sensory processing disorder. Trips to places like a soft play centre or an outing to the local park can be difficult due to the volume of children there and the noise levels which can cause her to become distressed.

After a trip to the sensory room at the Dundee Disabled Children's Association, her mum found that she was much more relaxed and calm, wanting to replicate a safe and engaging space for her to play at home too.

Thanks to your donations, Cash for Kids were able to purchase a bubble tube for Elena to explore and enjoy. Her mum said:"

"Elena is loving the bubble tube, thank you so much! She loves it and finds it very relaxing"

This has made such a difference to her life and we are glad that we have been able to help.
