Wellwisher­s’ 400 cards to ill youngster

- BY SOPHIE NORRIS

A TERMINALLY ill boy has received nearly 400 birthday cards after his mum said he loves opening post.

Ayaan Hussain has a degenerati­ve brain disease, epilepsy and a condition that causes limbs to jerk.

He was inundated with cards when he turned five recently, following a social media appeal by his mum Farzana, 27.

She said: “He loves pulling the cards out of the envelopes. Now, after two weeks, he has had nearly 400 cards, presents, and a kind stranger has even booked for two Teletubbie­s mascots to visit the house.

“We’re overwhelme­d by how kind everyone’s been.”

A bucket list fund for the youngster, from Birmingham, has raised more than £150. Ayaan’s family hope to take him to Disneyland.
