Arla's Story

This is Arla. 💖

 

Arla is 8 years old, autistic, and attends Park Lane Special School, a place that’s become so much more than a school to us. It’s a safe place, our lifeline 💛 our community. 🤝 When Arla started in 2020 📅 she was non-verbal. For three years, we waited to hear her speak in full sentences.

 

And then, in 2023 ✨ she found her voice. Now, she doesn’t stop talking 🗣️ and every word still feels like a miracle 🌟 She loves singing 🎶 dancing 💃 and seeing the world in the most magical way. ✨ But alongside that magic, she struggles with anxiety and emotional regulation.

 

The world 🌍 can feel very overwhelming to Arla, and that’s why Park Lane means everything to us. 💙 They don’t just teach Arla. They truly know her. 🤍

 

They understand her needs 🤝 celebrate every milestone 🎉 and support her in ways we never imagine possible. 🌈 They helped our daughter find her voice. That’s why fundraising for new sensory equipment with #Shadoes2Giants is so important for children like Arla. 💛

 

Sensory support isn’t a luxury, it’s a lifeline. 🌟 It creates calm 😌 safety 🤍 and the chance to thrive. 🌱

 

Every donation 💷 every share 🔁 every bit of support 🙏 helps children like Arla grow 🌱 shine ✨ and be unapologetically themselves. Park Lane helps her navigate the world and for that, we will be forever grateful. 🤍 Thank you so much for all your support. 💙
