I came across the story and found it really heartwarming about a 4 year old girl fund raising for her little mate with Cerebral Palsy.
Her family are unable to afford the £25,000 treatment but a fundraising appeal has been launched in the hope that 25,000 will pledge £1.
Casey is leading the campaign drive to raise the funds to get her friend walking.
The four-year-old said: 'Matilda is only five and so doesn’t have enough money in her piggy bank. So me and my mummy are helping Matilda and her mummy to raise the money.

Casey’s campaign has already raised nearly £3,500 for her best friend, and she hopes that Matilda will have enough money by the end of 2014 to pay for the operation.
Selective dorsal rhizotomy concentrates on the lower part of the spinal cord and involves cutting the nerves that cause the symptoms of cerebral palsy.
The operation, which was pioneered in America, was first carried out in Britain in 2011. However, NHS trusts have struggled to fully fund the procedure.
