Nisha and Phoenix Story:

In 2016, after a long and difficult process, Nisha was adopted in Sri Lanka by the Miller Family.

Nisha has a form of Cerebral Palsy called Closed Lip Schizencephaly.

In 2018, Nisha underwent life altering surgery in the USA, which would give her the chance to walk independently. Once the surgery was complete, many months of rehabilitation followed. On this journey, Nisha showed incredible resiliance, bravery and hard work putting in endless hours with the dream to succeed. It was in fact a great success and she began to walk with the help of a walking frame and leg splints.

As the years went by our efforts to keep her motivated for constant rehabilitation and exercise became more difficult . It took a chance meeting with a mom from Cork at a soccer practice with the line I will never forget “have you heard about the dogs” set us on the path to Cork and to Dogs for the Disabled.

It was there that we would meet our new boy Phoenix, the missing link in Nisha’s life. He has given her more then we ever dreamed of. He is hers, a best friend and constant comapnion! That feeling for her is something that has spurred her on given the point she was at in her life.

Walking with Phoenix supporting her has physically improved her core strength beyond measure. Walking him everyday is not a chore for Nisha and she is excited about the future.

She dreams of working with the Dogs for the Disabled team to assist other children with limited capacities.

Nisha is honoured to have been selected as the Offaly County Champion with Phoenix, for this amazing charity!
