MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

ALL ABOUT ME (Kimberley)

Hi my name is Kimberley and I had meningococcal disease and I have lost 4 fingers and 8 toes .I just had another operation on my leg and my graft has healed well and has begun to shrink , I think its operation number 29 since I was 6 now I'm 10.

I like horses and animals in general and all sorts of creepy crawling bugs.  I love horse riding and to watch the Simpson's but my Mum says “No”.

I love to paint and draw and my friend is an artist and his name is Stephen Preston he draws and paints wacky pictures and is a really funny.  Stephen is going to do a special painting for the Stump Club, and then we can make postcards out of them and sell them – so we can take kids out and does something cool!!!

There is something I don't like about going to hospital, “the beds are really annoying and hard”.  Sometimes kids say things that are mean, “Like you is a lopsided no fingered freak”, but it's ok because his sister gave him a black eye for it – and his mum was really cross.

I want lots of kids to write and let me know what its like for you.

From

Kimberley Sculli
President

The Stump Club

HELLO,

My name is Chloe and I am Kimberley sister I am 5 I look a lot like my mummy and I love making cakes.  I'm going to stay in a big hotel in Sydney soon.  I don't like it when Kimberley goes to hospital all the time because I love her and I miss mummy every time she takes Kimberley to hospital.  I get scared, I always hope she doesn't die and sometimes when she comes home she can't walk and play with me and I have to be careful not to bump into her.
