Jessica’s story
As told by her mum Natalie Greaves.
“Jessica was starved of oxygen at birth and she then developed severe cerebral palsy. We were unsure when she was born how long she would survive for and what her quality of life would be. The first thing that me and her dad Matt noticed was her first response to music – from the start it was a big part of her life. Sound is also an integral part of my relationship with Jessica and we use this to strengthen our deep love and affection for each other. I know that Jessica has huge potential which is why I understand the invaluable work that ‘Soundabout’ does, their passion for helping to unlock the potential of children with complex needs through singing, music and sounds and the difference this can make to a child’s life.”
Jessica came to national attention when her mum Natalie, a paramedic on BBC Ambulance, received a call out to help her.
