Maya is an adorable 13 year who loves every type of craft you can think of from origami, playdough, colouring and writing and who most of all loves playing with her cousins. Maya has severe medical conditions and that means she needs to spend a lot of time resting in her bed.
When resting, she was unable to continue doing the things she loved. Mum had looked in stores and online for a table to fit over Maya’s hospital bed that would allow her to continue her crafts and homework, but nothing was quite right, so she came to us to see if we could help.
Mum and Maya knew exactly what they wanted, it had to be a certain height to give her enough room to wiggle her knees, could be moved easily when not required and to have an edge all the way round to stop any pens or craft items from falling off.
Our staff and volunteer designed and built a table that captured all the important elements requested, even attaching lockable wheels for ease of movement.
Maya will now be able to engage in educational and recreational activities from the comfort of her bed. We hope this will make those long days of being too unwell to get out of bed, just a little bit better!
Mum Says
“Her wonderful new table gives her lots of working space and she absolutely loves sitting up in bed with her craft and toys and school work all accessible to her. Maya’s overbed table is perfect for her hospital style bed and having locking wheels is also fabulous. We are so grateful to TADQ for making this for her.”
