Grants Resources
Since 1981 Variety has distributed more than $74 million to help South Australian kids.
Meet Laila
Laila is a determined and resilient six-year-old girl who after a brain injury at birth now lives with bilateral cerebral palsy, developmental delay and speech difficulties. Laila has just returned from undergoing Selective Dorsal Rhizhotomy (SDR) in the US, which will permanently reduce the spasticity in her legs. Variety granted a dual zone swim spa to provide essential hydrotherapy to assist with her rehabilitation from surgery, to gain strength and increase range of movement. The therapy will assist her future development, particularly to achieve her goal of walking unaided, increase her gross motor skills and her confidence. Her Mum says that water is her best friend, and she can’t wipe the smile off her face when she is in the spa.
