A kindhearted boy asked to help their neighbor fix his new mailbox, after he accidentally knocked over his old one and broke it. Five-year-old Crew was left devastated when he accidentally rode his bike into neighbor Dan Meek's mailbox in Noblesville, Indiana, on September 15. The wood on the mailbox was rotting, Crew’s mom, Claire Taylor, said, and so they headed to Dan's home to apologize, explain what happened and offer to buy him a new one. Despite this resolution, Claire noticed Crew outside their home, still looking visibly upset. When his mom asked him what was wrong, he said that he thought Mr. Meeks was annoyed at him, and despite Claire’s best efforts to convince him otherwise, Crew's mood did not improve. And so, Claire asked her son what would make him feel better, and he said he would like to fix Mr. Meek's new mailbox himself. On September 17, Crew and his sibling Finn, who is almost three, headed to their neighbor's house, along with their father, CJ, who carried his tools. Crew and Finn had their own children's tools, too, and over the following hours they helped remove the old post and replace it with a new one.
