Walsall community raises cash for girl's life-changing surgery
A community in Walsall is planning a summer of events to help raise money for a young girl's life-changing surgery.
Five-year-old Amber Porterfield, from Pelsall, has cerebral palsy and needs an operation, known as selective dorsal rhizotomy, to help her to walk.
The NHS funds only a few of the procedures each year and Amber's family are trying to raise £60,000 to travel to the US for the surgery.
Her parents, Susannah Kemp and Mark Porterfield, said they have been overwhelmed by their community's generosity.
