Little Ezekiel has captured the heart of his neighbourhood with sweet treats.
The four-year-old Sunbury boy has spent his time bringing a little bit of cheer to town by delivering packages of lollies and chocolates to his neighbours.
Ezekiel’s mum Chloe Kerwell said she was blown away by her son’s kind gesture.
“From his understanding, he is not seeing people smile because people are wearing masks,” she said.
“First he asked if he could make lollies to give out to make people happy because lollies make him happy.
“He said he wanted to serve them to the neighbours and to his friends in the street and we went about it and put some packs together.”
In three weeks, Ezekiel, with the help of his family, has delivered more than 100 sweet packages throughout Sunbury.
In response, locals have sent small gifts and have left letters in Ezekiel’s letterbox, thanking him for the special surprise.
Ms Kerwell said she couldn’t be more proud of her son.
“He wanted to do something nice for people and we’ll do anything to make that happen,” she said.
“His little sister helped us deliver them into the letterboxes so it became a family effort.
“One lady brought him a toy truck and we’ve had little notes popped in our letterboxes.
“This is one of those memorable moments with the kids that you want to remember.”
