According to the Mirror report, a woman said that when she gave birth to her child, he was born dead. Hearing this his condition worsened. But after two minutes the angels performed a miracle and he came alive. This woman’s story is emotional. Know how the woman’s close friend and actor helped her.
There are some moments in life when a mother’s faith is the biggest support. Especially when fate is about to snatch the most precious thing from you. Actress Ann Wenn faced one such incredible and heartbreaking experience during the birth of her son Sebi. They say that when the child was born, he was not alive, but after 2 minutes the angels miraculously gave him life. During this difficult time, his best friend and EastEnders star Marc Elliott supported him and today miraculous technology like LifeLights is a lifeline for that child. This story is not only about a mother’s unwavering faith, but also shows how help and technology given at the right time can completely change lives. The strong bond between Sebby Slater, 12, who suffers from life-limiting cerebral palsy, and EastEnders star Mark Elliot is clearly visible.
For Sebi, Mark is just ‘Uncle Mark’, who has been involved in her life since childhood. Let us tell you that Mark played the role of the first openly gay Muslim character in the history of UK television. Mark and Ann’s friendship goes back 23 years, when they met in a production of Dangerous Legions in Austria. Ann (who herself has appeared in shows such as Doctors and Holby City) considers Mark as her pillar of strength and says that Mark has supported her not only with Sebi but also during the loss of her mother and sister. Mark gives them strength. Recalling the most difficult moment of Sebi’s birth, Ann said that her pregnancy was very good and she was preparing for the birth at home. But at the last minute, a rare incident happened and her umbilical cord came into the birth canal, disrupting the baby’s oxygen and blood flow.

Let us tell you that SEBI is now receiving conductive education at Ingfield Manor School. Here he turns things on using iClick Switches and makes music using Soundbeam. Ann said, “Sebi loves the tech provided by LifeLights. The first time he walked on the magic carpet, I cried. It felt like magic.” Recently another big milestone was added in the progress of SEBI. He got a new walker and took steps alone for the first time. Ann says, “When he did it on his own for the first time, we were all speechless and had tears in our eyes. Before that, I would usually walk him by holding him under the arms.” Ann thanks Mark for showing so much grace, patience and generosity. Let us tell you that the Lifelights campaign is being run by the English website Mirror. This charity provides technology to more than 65 children’s hospitals in Britain and Ireland.
