Is this the bravest and most thoughtful little girl in Ireland?
Next week Alex Featherston will give ten nominated families gift baskets which include generous treats such as yearly zoo and Tayto Park passes, family cinema tickets and more.
The ten families nominated by the public have all been affected by suicide.
Last August Alex opened up about the loss of her father four years ago in a video which has been watched almost 20,000 times on YouTube.
In 'I miss him, but it's okay', Alex speaks about how her mother told her that her dad had died by suicide.
"My mam told me that my dad died by suicide and I had one question for her: why did he do it? She didn't really know why, she just said I don't know."
Alex says it's okay to tell children the truth about suicide.
"I was glad [she told me] because I would rather have known. I'd be furious at her because she didn't tell me the truth for all those years."
Alex's video went viral on YouTube and the Andy Morgan Foundation received hundreds of messages of support.
The Andy Morgan Foundation was set up in memory of Alex's dad. It aims to help those suffering from depression and they support people who have lost someone to suicide.
"You don't have to do what my dad did, you can just talk to them and they'll help you," Alex says in the video.
"There's always going to be someone there for you. You don't have to cry on your own."
Following the success of Alex's video, her mother Joanne was approached by many parents looking for advice on telling a child about suicide.
The organisation raised money by selling pink #isupportalex wristbands which allows them to help children affected by suicide have family days out.
On Monday the Andy Morgan Foundation will call to the nominated families and deliver the gift baskets ahead of Christmas.
