Christian Lunn is a very special young man with whom Miracles has been in touch for some years as a young carer helping to look after his Mum, who has leukaemia, and his Dad who has severe mental problems. He is also a very talented actor-singer, winning competitions around the country with Miracles' backing. Now eighteen, Christian is eager to promote the cause of other young carers who need help.

Christian is pictured with a group of children at a recent child carers promotion in Harrogate.

Lauren and Nikki Malins have become very much a part of the MIRACLES’ Family since we met them through Caroline Scott’s ‘Life In A Day’ article.

Problems don’t get any easier but Nikki and Lauren still face them with courage— and the knowledge that MIRACLES is always there for them.

Another such case referred to us by Social Services was that of Francesca, the registered carer for her poorly Mum. Her brother is fighting in Afghanistan. When Mum needs hospital treatment MIRACLES sends Francesca on holiday to a special riding centre in Skegness where she can enjoy a respite from her duties and a little fun in her life.
