17.01.2022 We did it! Lions clubs bought the wheelchair adapted vehicle for Cerebral Palsy Alliance/Kate Agnihotri for Kate's daughter Kareena. The handover was held at Integrity Car Sales and Rentals on Wednesday 10th June. Kate said "I was really excited when Lions said they'd help out with the fund raising which means Kareena can get out and about now. We weren't able to do long trips with all of her equipment we had so this makes it easier for me to transport her to medical appoint...ments. It's been life changing." Kareena, 6, suffers from Cerebral Palsy, quadriplegia, and epilepsy. She is also legally blind and is tube fed. "The main thing is I want her to feel happy and loved every day. She's a very happy girl, I feel blessed to have her. She has such an innocent soul and she's changed my life and my perspective." CEO Cerebral Palsy Alliance Paul Henderson said " It was a nice feeling to be able to do something like that for the family. It will make a huge difference to the mother and the little girl and will make life that much easier for them". See more

After going to the toilet, and before wiping your bottom, go to the bathroom and wash your bottom in the shower (use a bucket of water if needed). 2. Dry your bottom on a towel. 3. Voila! Clean bottom.... The shower water goes into the sewer system. Of course you could have a bidet installed on your toilet, which is much more sophisticated! Let others know.
