Poppy Higham's mum said she 'never complains' and is always trying to help her elder sister
A six-year-old girl who selflessly helps her disabled sister "with everything" is to receive an award for her dedication and care.
She was picked from 100s of nominations from across the UK to win the category of Caring Child in these Awards which celebrate the resilience of children and young people living with serious illnesses or complex medical needs and honour the dedication of those individuals who go the extra mile to help them.
“She is the kindest, most caring little girl, who copes amazingly despite missing out on so much. Our life is full of uncertainties and I hope this WellChild Award will help Poppy realise how special she is to take everything in her stride at such a young age.” She added: “Poppy knows there are certain things we can’t do, like go to the beach.” However, despite sometimes missing out on events and activities Stacey said Poppy is always positive and supportive.
"The girls have an amazing bond and Paige’s eyes light up when Poppy comes into the room, sings or reads to her."
