Princess Conissa and Friends

We want what every parent wants, and that’s the best for our children! We hope you can join our plight in Keeping Conissa safe supporting our fundraising.

We would like to take this time and share with you a bit about our beautiful and only daughter. She has long brown hair and the brightest brown eyes that can light up a room, Conissa has the biggest smile which is contagious, when you are with her you can help it but smile too. Our Princess Conissa is an energetic 5 year old Aboriginal girl who was born with significant brain damage, Microcephaly

which means her brain is much smaller than normal, she has 2 cysts on each of her frontal lobes and major damage to her temporal lobes, she suffers from seizures and has a diagnosis of Autism, this has caused her to have severe global developmental delay and functions at a much younger age, even though Conissa is 5 she cannot speak and finds it very difficult to communicate and interact with her peers and general community people, despite her disability she is happy and vibrant with the most infectious laugh a child can have, Conissa has fought against all odds, she is a true fighter. even though Conissa is 5 she cannot speak and finds it very difficult to communicate and interact with her peers and general community people, despite her disability she is happy and vibrant with the most infectious laugh a child can have, Conissa has fought against all odds, she is a true fighter. We as parents of Conissa want to give her the best opportunity in life to be the best she can be, but to do this it can be a bit difficult, mentally, emotionally, physically and financially, Supporting Conissas needs takes a toll financially, with costs of on going therapy such as .speech, OT, and everything else that comes with having a special needs child it all adds up. Conissa often absconds when we are out in the community therefor this makes it difficult for us to engage in the community as a family, Conissa has been found on the road on countless occasions and I say we are just lucky that nothing horrible has happened to her, so we want to be proactive in keeping her safe, we are raising funds to keep Conissa by getting her an Assistant dog which costs $25,000, we need to raise $15,000 and Smart Pups organisation will donate the remaining $10,000. We are humbly asking if you would kindly help Conissa by making a donation to support our fundraising efforts.

I haven’t said anything about sister Yarraka Bayles and 9 year old Quadens situation because I have been dealing with sorry business.
And so are they actually!!!

Well today I’m weighing in, I’m here to share love for this beautiful family ♥️ and give them strength! Because I do know what they endure every single day. I know this because I too have an Aboriginal daughter with special needs, I know that feeling of anger when you get stares, I know the feeling of disparity when adults attack our baby because they are ignorant and yes racist !! I want to share this one story with you !!
Just like over Christmas I travelled to Rockhampton, we stopped for a break and fuel and my daughter ran up to an old lady to simply connect with her they looked at us saw we are black and started hurling racist abuse at us, a grown adult man (a big muscled man) started yelling at my daughter!! last words this man said was why are there black people everywhere !! Luckily this all finished before my son Jordan came out from the bathroom. Again like Yarraka said we don’t show these events we show the high lights for families and friends. But just to show a comparison and that this is all because of racist mindsets. We were at the pool and Nissa tried to connect with a baby a Aboriginal Dad was holding near the water, Nissa almost made the baby fall into the pool. The Dad was angry but as soon as I said she had special needs. Instantly and I mean instantly he changed. He showed empathy he actually calmed me down Because I was upset and he said to Nissa it’s really ok little sis you can play with him. Wow what a contrast in response right !!!
I actually 3 main points here
1 Racism
2 Dealing with different disabilities
3 Us mothers of these children being attacked and targeted!!!
Get with it Australia this didn’t happen when Dolly was bullied you all supported her without any doubt or judgements !!

We love you Sister Yarraka and Quaden.
You deserve to go to Disney land and so much More ! Ps chuck me and Nissa in the suitcase with yas 😂😂 stay strong and deadly 🖤⭐️♥️ from myself Nissa and family 💓💓💓
