11-year-old David could never have imagined how his community would rally round
Most kids have wanted a pet at some point, but when David Matczuk decided he wanted a tortoise, he was determined to buy it himself.
Soon dozens of people were commenting to say they'd visited the stall to show their support and were full of praise for the 'lovely little lad' with impeccable manners. "A man who saw the post about my stall came down and bought a few things and said he loved the idea. He then got me the bedding and a tortoise," said the youngster.
David's parents, mum Ewa Gawryjolek and dad Slawomir Matczuk are separated, so he and older sister, Dominica, split their time between both homes.
