Sporty Nakita Wright was left disabled from the waist down after an accident at surf school seven years ago. Since then she and her family have been fighting to get their house adapted so it is wheelchair accessible.
The 14-year-old was told she may not walk again after a freak incident on the Algarve, Portugal in 2015. Undeterred, the teen is now a wheelchair basketball athlete and her mum Natasha Wright, 44, said she has “taken everything in her stride”.
She dreams of playing in the Paralympics and has made the final deadline to prepare for the 2024 Paris Paralympics. Her homelife however is difficult as her house is not adapted to fit a wheelchair user and the family have been waiting seven years for it to be resolved.
