You published an article regarding the plight of Carl Bingham, who was born with cerebral palsy (Give me my freedom’, Times Series, September 4). Carl was looking for donations to help him fund a specially-adapted wheelchair, which would change his life.

I am dismayed to learn when I spoke with Carl that I was his only offer of help.

I had difficulty in making contact with the appeal address on the article.

Perhaps a new appeal could be made with an accessible contact as others like myself may have encountered the same problem.
