Ronnie and Reggie are brothers; Ronnie is 10 and Reggie is
younger. They have been making cushions for tired NHS workers and supermarket
staff. Ronnie says, “They are saving lost of lives and when Reggie was being born,
they saved his life as well. So we want to say ‘thank you’ for it.”
Reggie was born with cerebral palsey, which means he moves
in a different way to others. Reggie finds it difficult to hold a needle and
thread and sew but he wanted to help and he asked Ronnie to help him. Now they
have made 100 cushions and they are also raising money for charity by selling
them. Watching the video you can hear how Ronnie helps his brother by
encouraging him.
