Jack with his voice device
Jack with his voice device

Brummies are being asked to help give an Erdington youngster a voice.

Heidi Wells’ son Jack has Athetoid Cerebral Palsy and requires a communication aid to speak.

The technology, similar to that used by the late Stephen Hawking and comedian Lost Voice Guy, allows a voice to be recorded and give a voice to the person needing the system.

Heidi, who works for West Midlands Ambulance Service, is now looking for a male aged between 18 and 30 with a Birmingham accent to help Jack personalise his speech.

She said: “Having his own voice would really give my son individuality and the ability to have a voice he feels he can identify with rather than the standard, robotic voice.

“It would mean the world to Jack, even more so because he is now engaged and wants to be able to say ‘I do’ in his own personal voice on his big day.”

Anyone who can help is asked to contact pressoffice@wmas.nhs.uk.
