Angel

A boy with a big heart has raised money for a girl with a big smile.
The boy is Callum Johnson, 12, whose mum Mandy works at Humble Bee Farm near Flixton on Saturdays.
The girl is Angel Sutton, 5, whose left foot has been amputated and whose right foot is due to be amputated next month, due to a rare genetic condition.
The NHS will fund only a basic prosthetic limb, says Angel’s mum Tina, who has embarked on a fundraising campaign to buy better prostheses.
Yorkshire Coast Radio weighed in and helped Tina raise almost £30,000.
The fundraising continues as Angel, who has endured seven major operations, needs water-proof activity limbs to enable her to swim, paddle in the sea, stand up in the shower, etc.
As Angel grows up, the prostheses need replacing every 12-18 months and cost £6,000 a pair.
“Shoes are also scarily expensive as they have to be custom-made,” says Tina.
Callum responded to Angel’s plight by making and selling hundreds of loom bands to Humble Bee Farm visitors, thanks to owners Julia and John Warters.
He has been making the bands since May, helped by his niece, Caitlyn Murray-Rae, 10.
To date, Callum has raised £220, which he presented to Angel on Sunday.
