Seven-year-old Holly Boddington-Bullet is not happy because her friend Evie and her parents are moving to another city.

Evie made a postcard to say sorry. Unfortunately, Holly can't bring herself to look at it because it makes her so sad.

 Instead of throwing the card away, the kind-hearted youngster has decided to do something nice for her friend and sell it to raise money for Evie.

On her eBay listing, Holly says: "Today is a sad day because Evie moves away. She made me a 'sorry I am moving' card in golden time at school but it makes me sad to see it. I don't want to throw it away because that wouldn't be nice to her feelings.

 I asked mummy if somebody might like to buy it because the picture on it is pretty. I want to buy my friend a present with any pennies I get.

 "Please buy my card - I would like to buy her a present so she knows we will always be best friends. She is so sad about moving too." Mum Julie Ann Boddington said: "I think it's really nice of her to think of her friend even though she's sad, she's trying to make her feel better. She's always thinking of other people." "I want to be able to support her in whatever she chooses to do." Holly was said to be 'absolutely thrilled' when the bidding had reached £7.

The card currently has 15 bids and has raised a total of £10.50, but there are still four days left. If you want to bid for Holly's card, go to her eBay listing.
