Lilianna

Age 11

The Donna Louise Children's Hospice

"My grandad"

Lilianna is 11 years old and is a beautiful, happy young lady. Lily was born with two conditions called schizencephely and microcephaly. This means that Lily needs a lot of one-to-one care. Lily has a very large and loving family and she is in return very responsive and alert to those that love her letting them know her needs.

Lily loves to spend time in the sensory room with her family, especially with her grandad. She likes to explore the lights and sounds together with him as you can see by the photograph on Lily's canvas. Lily really enjoyed helping to create her canvas, enjoying exploring the different textures before helping to glue them on to her piece of work. Lily is very girly and loves anything pink, glittery and sparkly. Lily has had some very troubled times but every time comes through them with the biggest of smiles. Lily also has a very contagious laugh which can have everyone giggling too. She is a joy to be around and a pleasure to care for.
