How big is a child’s smile when they get what they’ve dreamed of on Christmas Day? How happy are they when a longed-for gift finally appears? How much bigger do you think that smile might be when that gift can actually change their life? Eight young children in Birmingham are hoping that Santa will bring them some very special presents this year. They are all waiting for grants to help purchase specialised equipment to help them manage their disability and lead a happier life. Could you help us give these 8 children the best Christmas present ever? There are hundreds of thousands of children living with disability and long-term illness across the country. Many of them need specialised equipment that will make their lives more fun, easier, more independent, less painful, more fulfilling, more sociable – or just better. Children Today gives grants to fund this equipment and help make those children smile every day.
