A NEW garden has been formally opened putting a smile on the face of a young boy from Ludlow.

The opening marked the climax to months of work by local people and businesses who have come together to make the wish of little Toby Morris come true.

For several weeks excitement has been growing in the ‘Morris’ household.

Toby Morris has severe disabilities and the national charity ‘Make a Wish’ together is neighbours have been making a special garden for him to play in at his Ludlow home.

Now the work is final completed in idea time to allow Toby to enjoy his garden during the summer.

The brave little boy has severe cerebral palsy and epilepsy than means that he requires full time care.

He was nominated for support from the charity ‘make a wish’ and as a result the garden at the family’s Ludlow home has been transformed.

It has been made more accessible for Toby who depends upon a wheelchair, sensory flowers planted and a range of toys installed to help meet Toby’s needs.

Mum Nicky, 35, day Matthew 40, and his little sister Elerie who is two have been looking forward to having the garden completed since work began in the dark days of winter.

Toby can suffer more than 100 epileptic seizures and day but this has improved a lot following a change of diet last year but he also needs daily physiotherapy.

He was born by emergency caesarean six week prematurely after a routine test show that mum Nicky was suffering from pre-eclampsia – very high blood pressure.

Despite facing many difficulties including having to be fed through a tube Toby is a cheerful boy with a smile on his face.

The family has had a lot of support from local people and two years ago a friend raised more than £2,000 to help him by taking part in an Iron man event.

“Having spent the last few months excitedly watching the day to day transformation that Ben and Jon have carried out we have finally been able to wheel Toby out of his bedroom, up his custom-made ramp and all around the garden! It may have taken a lot of effort but it’s been well worth it,” said mum Nicky

“We are so looking forward to being able to spend time together making memories outside which we will be able to cherish for years to come. Without Make-A-Wish we would never have been able to achieve this for our special boy. Thank you just doesn't seem enough!”

It was after the charity was told about Toby that they want to see him to find out what he wanted.

The charity’s staff then got to work in pursuit of their mission to grant every eligible child’s one true wish.

They called upon Toby’s family, friends, neighbours and supporters from all over the country to become the community of ‘Wish Makers’ that turn this wish into a magical reality.

Businesses of different shapes and sizes including Severn Trent have all helped.
