Following the terror attacks in New Zealand on March 15, 2019, New Zealanders have been finding ways to support the Muslim community.
They have donated money toward families of the victims, attended vigils, and left flowers and messages at mosques.
Adding to this outpouring of support is a nine-year-old boy in New Zealand.
Wanted flowers for his birthday
According to a viral Facebook post by one Samuel Sen, he shared that his son, who just turned nine, said he wanted flowers for his birthday.
His son, known as Darsh, explained that he wanted to "take it to the mosque and pay (his) respects to the people who died in Christchurch".
Decided to forgo birthday gift
Sen, knowing that his son had originally wanted a laptop for his birthday, was surprised by this gesture.
When he asked him about the laptop, Darsh told his father he could donate the money he would otherwise have spent on it to people who need it more in Christchurch.
He also added that he can use his father's laptop for now.
Here's his Facebook post:
