DISABLED CHILDREN GIVEN WINGS TO FLY BY PHOTOSHOP ARTIST:
Tahliyah is unable to walk, unable to speak, but despite this her smile lights up the room and her joy radiates past her physical needs. At 6 months doctors began to figure out that something wasn’t quite right physically with Tahliyah. But to this day her condition remains largely undiagnosed. Part of her diagnosis is Mitochondrial disease however this is only part of the story this little girl is still undergoing numerous tests to try and establish what exactly is going on in her young body.

I’ve always known that Story Art had the ability to bring dreams to life, but this project has moved beyond exciting the imagination to bringing real hope and joy. I’m so thankful to Tahliyah for giving me an opportunity to use my own gifts to provide her and and family with this gift of hope.
“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.”
― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
Sienna (6) is a triplet. Her brother, Harry and her sister Grace were born without complications, however Sienna suffers from wheelchair bound Cerebral Palsy, Autism and Epilepsy.
“Our daughter is a triplet and about to turn 6 on the 26 March. She has Cerebral Palsy (wheelchair bound) autism, non verbal and suffers from epilepsy.
SHE SITS BACK EACH DAY AND WATCHES HER SIBLINGS FLY AND WISHES SHE COULD ONE DAY…” – SIENNA’S PARENTS
I prefer to believe anything is possible, and find a way to make it happen. We may often get overwhelmed with the feeling something is too difficult, but if we take up the challenge, amazing things can happen!
