Charity offers support to family of Zach who was born with a rare life-threatening metabolic disorder

When Jadwiga Ayer’s daughter, Rose, gets home from crèche, she’s not allowed to touch her little brother until she has washed her hands. If she has a cough, she must isolate from him – and so must any family member who becomes unwell.

Zach has MMA, a very rare life-threatening metabolic disorder. “Not all disabilities are visible. Zach looks great but his body’s very sick,” says Newbridge-based Jadwiga.
