Boy, 4, who lost fingers and legs to meningitis is raising money for new extension
  • 5 years ago
Little Louie Jenkins contracted the disease when he was just five months old and has needed nine different sets of prosthetic legs as he has grown. Louie and his mum Julie are now hoping to raise £10,000 towards a new ground floor bedroom and wetroom to help make his life a little easier. Julie, 33, said: "We've always known an upstairs bedroom and bathroom wouldn't be enough for Louie as he grew up. "He's already had nine different prosthetic legs because as he grows and his legs change we've needed to adapt his legs. "But as he continues to develop, his struggles are becoming more and more obvious. He really struggles to get up and down the stairs.
