For the poor boy who was beaten

Hello, my name is Holley Drake (Facebook name Bobbie Diggs)

Like many across the UK, you might have seen the troubling video of a young boy being harshly treated by an older girl. The footage is heart-wrenching, showing him desperately trying to escape as he cries for help. It’s a situation no child should ever face.

After watching the video, I felt compelled to do something. It took a couple of days and the power of social media, but I finally got in touch with his mother. My initial plan was to give him a personal gift to cheer him up, but as I reached out, I discovered there were many others touched by his plight and eager to help.

This led to the creation of this fundraiser, not just as a way to help him heal, but to show him that he has an entire community behind him. We want to see him smile again and feel safe.

If you’re able to contribute, that would be wonderful. If not, even a simple share of this fundraiser can make a big difference. Every little bit of support counts and shows him that he’s not alone.

I just want to put a smile on his face and show him the UK is behind him!

Thanks so much for reading and for any support you can give. It means the world to us, and to him.
