Ameen ‘s Story
Say ‘Hello’ to Ameen. His disability – Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy – affects him in all kinds of ways, but he enjoys socialising with his peers, making plenty of friends through regular Heel & Toe meetings and chatting with adults.
Despite his disability, Ameen loves physical activities, especially walking, and he receives the necessary exercise for his disability through whole body stretches and active movement.
He has stated that, before his association with Heel & Toe Children’s Charity, Ameen struggled with a lot of things in his day-to-day life, but since he has joined, he has made many friends with his conductors and peers and has found each of his experiences through the charity extremely enjoyable.
