Can you help make a young disabled girl’s dream come true?

Angel Farley’s one wish is to be taken on a fairytale horse and carriage ride so she can feel “like a princess”.

Her parents Rob and Holly, of Fulmar Avenue, Iwade, say it would put a big smile on her face.

The five-year-old was born with the rare proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD), which affects the pelvis, particularly the hip bone and legs.

As a result she is missing the right femur, meaning it is shorter than the other as it is connected to her hip by her knee joint. She also has club feet.

In order to walk she uses a prosthetic leg and crutches but tends to use a wheelchair more often than not.

On top of that, the youngster suffers from water on the brain and sacral agenesis, which affects the shape of the pelvis and causes incontinence.

But despite all her disabilities, Angel remains upbeat.

She even attends Holywell Primary – a mainstream school in Upchurch – where she is a Year R pupil.

Mr Farley, 26, said: “She acts like a princess and when she sees a horse and carriage on TV she always says she wants to go on one so she can be like a princess.

“She really wants to do it but we don’t know anyone who can help us make her dream come true.”

Mother-of-three Mrs Farley, 23, added: “We’d really love to see a smile on her face because of all she has been through.

“Neither of us works. I have mental health issues and Rob is my carer so we can’t afford to do it ourselves.

“When we looked into it, the price is anywhere between £500 and £1,000.

“We’d just like to go out as a family for an hour around the town and back home.

“We just want to give her the experience.”
