Everton players make special Easter delivery for ill children in Liverpool

Children and families at Zoe’s Place welcomed Everton players Anthony Gordon and Tom Davies, who came to make a special Easter delivery. The Blues home-grown heroes, both born in Liverpool, brought Easter eggs and gifts having been able to visit the West Derby-based facility again for the first time since COVID-19 restrictions were lifted.

Zoe’s Place provides respite, palliative, and end-of-life care to babies and infants aged 0-5, who have life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses. As well as spending time speaking to the youngsters and their relatives, the Everton pair also met staff.

Gordon, the goalscoring hero for Frank Lampard's side in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Manchester United said: “It’s wonderful coming here, it’s the second time me and Tom have done it, we see the kids, spend some time with the families, and hear their stories. It’s incredible what the kids go through, how strong they are, and their families also.
