The selfless youngster said he wanted to help poorly children at hospital and homeless people
A nine-year-old Nottinghamshire boy who has a congenital heart condition used a Christmas wish to give presents to sick children in hospital. Oliver Tate, of Cotgrave, is set to have open heart surgery in the new year - the third time he will have had a major operation.
Mum, Michaela said she was blown away. "You think 'are you sure? do you really want that to be your wish?' and he said yes," said the 32-year-old teaching assistant. "We were unbelievably proud. Make-A-Wish asked if he was sure too." They also donate hats, scarves and blankets for the homeless at the Salvation Army. Oliver was just days old when he was diagnosed with a malformed mitral valve - a small flap in the heart which stops blood from flowing the wrong way.
