LITTLE Holly Goodwyn has been left heartbroken today after thieves stole her communication lifeline.
Burglars left the disabled girl unable to get on with her education after stealing a computer from Sidegate Primary School, Ipswich.
The six-year-old, of Rushmere Road, Ipswich, is upset and confused after thieves broke in and made off with a laptop essential for her studies.
Holly has cerebral palsy and has difficulty speaking so the computer was vital for her to fit into a mainstream school.
A special program allowed her to start typing a word and then offered her a selection of alternatives to choose from, so allowing her to do her schoolwork.
Sidegate headteacher David Crowe said: "It's very upsetting for us. This computer is very important to Holly – it's her means of communicating."
