Mikie's Christmas List

  1. Front Room Carpet for Erin

 Erin Ford Age 4

Erin has Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy and the family have had to have the entire house changed to help her including having a lift, ramp, wet room and doors widened. The carpet is the last thing they need and it will make the floor safe for Erin who crawls or uses a walker.

  1. JLS concert tickets, signed album and a meet and greet with the band for Kyle

    Kyle Lord Age 5

Kyle has Spinal Atrophy Type 1, is in a wheelchair and his condition is life limiting.  His one wish that he asked for whilst in hospital was to meet JLS who he calls ‘his boys’

  1. A new bedroom for Tyler (boy) including bed, wardrobe and duvet.

Tyler Tattersall Age 7 (nominated by Morgan, Tylers Sister)

Tyler has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy which is a muscle wasting condition meaning he will need a wheelchair eventually.  The family have had a downstairs room created for Tyler but it currently has nothing in it.  This room will give him his independence back as he will no longer need help to get upstairs. 

  1. £500 to pay for extra physiotherapy sessions for Tyler Hartle

Tyler Hartle Age 3 (nominated by Auntie Becky)
