A young Donegal boy’s search to find a toy of one of his favourite television characters has sparked an outpouring of kindness from the Donegal public and beyond.
We revealed recently how Carrigart lad Oisin Roberts Browne is a super-fan of the hit children’s TV show Balamory.
His uncle Eric Roberts wanted to give the sixteen year old, who has autism and cerebral palsy, a toy from the BBC show but failed despite a massive search.
But Eric went even further and managed to get a personal message from the show’s main character Miss Hoolie played by actress Julie Wilson Nimmo from the make-believe Scottish village.
The video of Eric showing Oisin the message from Miss Hoolie went viral!
And so too has the reaction to the video.
This week Eric revealed how a woman who saw Oisin’s video managed to get her hands on a Miss Hoolie teddy and sent it to the delighted teenager.
Here is Oisin’s reaction as he opens the surprise package from kind-hearted Nadine Slavin.
