Cake Stall Success

Lionesses happy to help
Seahaven Lionesses donated a bubble mirror to six year old Ella Hibling from Seaford .
Ella was born with Group B Strep Meningitis which left her with brain damage. Ella is also severely visually impaired and suffers from epilepsy as well as being autistic.
Ella Mum Alix Collins said we are trying to make a sensory/play room at home for Ella and the bubble mirror kindly donated by the Lionesses, will not only be something for Ella to enjoy but it will also help stimulate her vision, so we are extremely grateful.
Maggie Chitty, President of the Lionesses 2010/2011 said “We were delighted to be able to buy this equipment for Ella, but it would not have been possible without the support received from the community at our numerous fundraising events. Every penny raised goes back into helping those less fortunate than us”.
