Generous residents donate £2,000 for disabled young boy's new garden
A whopping £2,000 was raised during a fun day for a young Wednesfield boy who needs a sensory garden after losing the ability to walk and talk.
Friends and family of Reuben Jayce-Mills turned out to Corpus Christi Social Club, Ashmore Park, on Saturday.
Reuben was a healthy until he contracted rare disease Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) which left him with a life expectancy of a few years and the gradual loss of mobility and speech.
His mother Danielle Corns will use the money to create a special garden in their home which five-year-old Reuben can enjoy being close to nature.
She said: "Saturday was amazing. It was a great turn out and could not have asked for a better day.
"We raised £2,010 in total. There are so many to thank including Kimberley Jones, Toni-Marie Carter, Andy Aston, Tom Morgan, Michelle Gallagher and everyone who dug deep on the day and donated money."
Danielle has set up a GoFundMe page called Roo's Garden which has already raised more than £2,000 for the garden.
