DISABLED Hannah Warburton's parents hope that £1 badges will help raise money for a wheelchair.
Hannah, pictured with dad David, is three and a half years old and has cerebral palsy. She cannot walk and has difficulty eating.
Now her dad and mum Maggie are desperately trying to raise £8,000 to pay for a specially adapted wheelchair to help improve her life.
The Disabled Children's Foundation is helping them.
Mr Warburton, who works as a store manager in Keighley, said: "Hannah was born disabled and she's a twin. Her sister Samantha is fine, but think how hard it is bringing up twins when one is disabled.
"Hannah has learning difficulties, can't eat properly and needs a lot of attention and mobility. But we have been told the waiting list for a wheelchair could be up to a year and we're desperate. "We want to give Hannah as much freedom as an ordinary child and you can't imagine how happy she would be if she had a wheelchair."
Hannah's parents, who live at Holden Wood Drive, Helmshore, are selling animal pin badges in the shape of a panda, camel, lion and gorilla.
Sue Green of the Disabled Children's Foundation said: "We decided to do something a bit different to help because we have to raise a lot of money for the wheelchair.
"So we produced the badges and we've put brightly coloured ties on all the animals."
The badges, which cost £1 each, can be bought directly from Disabled Children's Foundation or from Do It All in Bocholt Way, Rawtenstall. To order badges or to make a donation to Hannah's fund, call Sue Green on 01706 369300.
