Stranger makes sick 6 year old boys day

Tuesday, 14 March 2017 16:00

A mum of three, who all have a condition causing tumours to grow in their bones, has been over whelmed by well wishes and support for her little boy.

Sarah Walker, shared a request on her Facebook page, asking people to send 'get well soon' cards to her six-year-old son, William, to aide his recovery after doctors told her he would be in “crippling pain” following surgery.

William has hereditary multiple exostoses, a condition which would normally allow tumours to grow inside his bones, however William has a rare form which means tumours also grow on the outside of his bones causing him excruciating pain.

Last week he underwent surgery to remove three tumours which were crushing his kidney and spleen, his lung partially collapsed in surgery, meaning William was put in intensive care, but on the 11^th March he was moved to a ward to recover.

Sarah posted a request on social media which stated

"I want to surprise my son with get well cards, o make him feel better. Can I ask my friends to share my post?

"I know some people may think this is cheeky and maybe I am asking too much but I'm hoping a few people will do this for him.

It would be amazing to see his face light up and to see how far we reach and the longest distance a card for him travels.”

William received his first card yesterday and Sarah took to social media once again to say “I am so grateful to everyone for all your support and thank you to the stranger that sent my little boy his first card. His resulting smile is obvious for anyone to see.”
