“I watch the tv and I cry”: Erin Molan shares emotional letter from young boy heart stricken over bushfires

TV presenter Erin Molan has shared an absolutely beautiful piece of fan mail she received via social media, to the world.

The heart-warming letter revealed a young Australian boy by the name of Ryder who is going to make a worthwhile donation in response to the bushfires that are currently plaguing the nation.

The anonymous child had said his family were willing to donate their new campervan they had purchased for themselves to those impacted by the fires, and also mentioned his own personal donation.

"What a beautiful soul. Received this msg tonight from a beautiful boy called Ryder. My faith in this beautiful country is greater than ever after the outpouring of support for those affected by fires," Molan tweeted.

“Dear Mrs Molan,” the letter began.

“My dad brought us a camper van about 1 y ago. I would like to donate it to the fire people. It does not have registered, but we did get it checked and they said it’s fine.

“All we need is a truck to take it to the peoples. Dad said it’s fine but need your help to give it to them. I’m ok with not using it to go on holiday.”

The post continued: “Just just get upset to see the people crying and have nowhere to live.

“I watch the tv and I cry that there is no where for the homeless. I have also been through my room and wanted to give my toys and clothing for the little kids too.

“I have saved $56.70 from doing house jobs around the house to (sic).”

The heart-warming letter from the young boy received over 272 likes on Twitter and a flood of support from users online.

The post has since been deleted by Molan who mistakenly left a part of the anonymous child’s details uncovered.

Donations continue to pour into comedian Celeste Barber's DIY Facebook fundraiser, which last week hit an astonishing $50 million dollars.
