Fundraiser launched for little girl with scoliosis in Carlow as they are let down by HSE

Fundraiser launched for little girl with scoliosis in Carlow as they are let down by HSE

A fundraiser launched for a little girl living with scoliosis in Carlow as her parents try to get private care.

The Proctor family have fought for two years to get help for their daughter Shannon. Two-year-old Shannon is living with Scoliosis which causes her pain every day.

The HSE's Children’s Disability Network Team (CDNT) can not offer services to the family due to the lack of staffing, forcing the family to bring Shannon overseas last year in order to get help.

They are again searching for a hospital and therapy for their daughter as her Scoliosis is getting rapidly worse.

The family have set up a GoFundMe, which you can find HERE

You can follow her story on Facebook "Shannon's Story" for updates.
