Nintendo: Making wishes come true…aww

12wii.jpg

A donated Nintendo Wii gaming console has enabled the 11-year-old, who has limited movement in her arms and legs, to play just like the other kids.

Taylor has suffered from the degenerative muscle disease arthrogryposis since birth.

She has no muscles in her arms, making seemingly simple tasks exceedingly difficult to complete.

But family and friends say she has never complained, preferring to focus her energy on finding alternative ways to get things done.

“She always finds a way to do things,” family friend Tony Watkins said.

Mr Watkins said that spirit prompted him to wonder if she could muster the strength to play with his children’s Wii.

He used four hair ties to attach the console’s controller to Taylor’s arm and she was away.

The success prompted Mr Watkins to write to Nintendo for help, which came in the form of a new console delivered to the Smith family’s Corio home for free.

    That’s awesome! I’m so glad Nintendo does things like that. That’s what this season and life should be all about — helping others!

    That really made me smile…

    Poor thing, I live with my mother who has several conditions that make her day-to-day life a real struggle as well… The poor women usually go’s around in a constant state of horrible pain…

    So seeing something like this makes me feel all that more better about the kinds of games I like to spend my money on…
