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.
Ahead of this, for Christmas the Make-A-Wish Foundation gave him the chance to ask for anything he wanted. What Oliver answered with shocked both his parents, Michaela and Ian, and the charity.
The selfless youngster said he wanted to help poorly kids at hospital and homeless people. Explaining why he chose to make such a wish, Oliver told Nottinghamshire Live: "I wanted to do it because some kids are in hospital and can't come out until after Christmas.
