Paulsgrove mum holds car boot sale to raise cash for specialist wheelchair needed by toddler
Thomas Burrage is a 21-month-old with cerebral palsy and hyper mobility syndrome, and needs the pushchair to support him - but the NHS will not pay for the equipment.
The youngster’s mum Emma, from Paulsgrove, organised a car boot sale yesterday at St Michael’s and All Angels Church, in the hope of generating some of the funds needed.
