Fundraiser to buy wheelchair for little Destiny so she can attend nursery

A charity night will be held in an effort to raise funds for a little girl in need of a wheelchair so she can attend nursery.

Destiny Precious Grove was born at just 25 weeks and six days and weighing only 1lb 14oz. in August 2011.

The tot, aged two-years-old, is severely disabled and is unable to feed herself, communicate or talk.

She requires the use of a wheelchair and has chronic lung disease.

The youngster is cared for by full-time mum Samantha Grove, 38, of Highgrove Road in Bilston.

Tomorrow an entertainment night will be held at the Golden Lion at Ash Street, Bradley in a bid to raise money for a Kite Power Wheelchair.

Miss Grove said: "I appreciate the pub putting on this night for us it shows there are people out there with good hearts. It has been a long while since I have socialised and I'm going there to show my gratitude to the pub for helping to raise money.

"I want my daughter to have the best life she can possibly have. I want her to go to nursery and have time with friends, but for her to do so she needs a certain type of wheelchair. "

Miss Grove added:"Any money that can be donated will help her and we will be so grateful for. I want her to lead the most normal life that she possibly can. She still has a right like any other toddler.

On the night will be a drag artists and a comedian.

The fundraiser begins at 7pm and it is £3 for entry.
