Dec 19th, 2020 | Category: Special Reports | 10:15#Gleaner #CerebralPalsy #ShamaraFraser DECEMBER 19, 2020: Christmas is just a week away and Tanya Miller is finding it hard to be joyous in the season of cheer. Along with the economic stresses which the COVID-19 pandemic has heaped on her family, she is finding it increasingly challenging to care for her 12-year-old daughter, Shamara Fraser, who suffers from cerebral palsy. She said the challenges began when Shamara, a grade six student of the Hope Valley Experimental Primary School, was cut off from oxygen during labour and, since then, she has been suffering frequent seizures. Persons seeking to assist Shamara may contact Isha McLeary, President of the Optimist Club at St Matthew’s Anglican Church at 876-799-0751 or 876-331-5207.
