TEMBY and the damaged trampoline
AN 11-YEAR-OLD girl who lost her young mother to a brain haemorrhage has been hit by another setback.
Temby Hartley, who has not yet fully recovered from the death of her 26-year-old mother, Kimberley Jo Hartley, had her much-loved trampoline wrecked by vandals on Friday night.
Temby, a pupil at St Martin’s School, Fitton Hill, often played on the 12ft trampoline at her grandmother, Tracey Cozeli’s house in Fir Tree Avenue, Fitton Hill, with her five brothers.
But she was left shocked when she found it had been vandalised.
Mrs Cozeli, who works with people with learning disabilities for Oldham firm IAS services, said: “Someone has gone into my back garden and wrecked the trampoline.
“All my six grandchildren would come over to my house to play on it because it’s safer to be in the garden than out on the streets.
“Temby is very upset and so are her brothers. She’s had it since October and now no longer of any use.”
Kimberley was expecting her seventh child when she died of a brain haemorrhage.
The former Breeze Hill School pupil was discovered in the bedroom of her home in Timperley Close, Fitton Hill, with three of her children beside her in March.
