Matt Lucas sent an inspirational handwritten letter to a young alopecia sufferer.
The Little Britain star - who has suffered from the same chronic hair loss himself since he was just six years old - reached out to 10-year-old Jacob Fitzpatrick shortly after his mother got in touch with him on behalf of her son.
Inconjunction with Airbnb’s Daily Kindness Bulletin, Jacob said: "I didn't know why it was happening or anything like that, so I didn't really know what to do. I was scared people would judge me, or stare at me."
Jacob's mother, Sarah Fitzpatrick, wrote to Matt - who stars in the 10-year-old's favourite show, 'Come Fly With Me' - after he had been diagnosed with alopecia.
And within a matter of days, the comedian replied - on the back on a signed postcard.
Explaining how the 41-year-old comedian's touching note gave her son a much-needed confidence boost, Sarah said: "To actually write that note which was really personal to Jacob and obviously personal to him as well, really showed what sort of person he is and how kind he is."
“It’s quite nice not to have to get your haircut … and women find it sexy,” Matt replied on the back of a signed postcard.
Although he still occasionally experiences bald patches and mild hair loss, Jacob believes the letter helped to get him on the road to recovery and has now almost completely overcome the condition.
He added: "Thank you to Matt Lucas for helping me through this alopecia and boosting my confidence."
Just goes to show, it's the little things that can make a big difference.
