MIRACLES’ Caseworker, Sharon Hansel’s youngest son, Keir, is growing up fast but his problems don’t get any easier. From Chediak Higashi Syndrome he is severely light sensitive and almost blind, but a special computer from MIRACLES has made a world of difference to his education – and his life.

In 2002 Miracles’ help was sought for a beautiful young Gabonese girl called Evelyne. She had been living in Johannesburg where she was the victim of a brutal acid attack. Evelyne could only speak French so Marie-Antoinette Pereire took on her case and has kept a watchful eye on her ever since.
Evelyne is now living in the USA and, although still heavily scarred, she is well and very happy as the proud Mum of a bouncing baby boy called Bradly.

Wheelchair sports are a focal point for the disabled children at the Lavinia Norfolk Unit of Angmering School in Sussex but many of their wheelchairs were in bad repair until MIRACLES came to their urgent rescue. Our reward – and theirs – was their team being Highly Commended at the Paraplegic Games in Glasgow.

Amongst the recent cases referred from Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital for Miracles’ help is beautiful Jessica Cannons. A very sick 14-year-old from Worthing, Jess has spent months in and out of hospital and finally had a life-saving heart transplant in June. Miracles help was requested for the many hospital trips needed to be made and to enable her Mum to be with her during the crucial hours. Jess is now recovering well and looking forward to enjoying life as a healthy teenager – something she couldn’t experience before the miracle of her new heart.
