This five-year-old has earned national recognition after she bought afternoon tea for 200 NHS staff using money raised through rainbow drawings.
Jessica Willey, from Washington, made hundreds of "rainbow of hope" pictures during the lockdown and decided she could share them with her community in return for donations.
She then used the money she raised to buy afternoon tea for more than 200 staff at Sunderland Royal Hospital.
Now, the kind youngster has won the Prime Minister's Points of Light award, which recognises outstanding peoples across the country.
In a personal letter to Jessica, Boris Johnson said: "I heard about your beautiful rainbow pictures and the way you organised a special afternoon tea for the staff at Sunderland Royal Hospital.
"It was such a lovely way of saying thank you to the extraordinary men and women of our NHS who are doing so much to save lives in this fight against coronavirus. So today I want to say thank you to you, by making you the UK’s 1384th Point of Light.”
Jessica’s mum Andrea, 36, a civil servant, said she was proud of her daughter and also thanked Wysteria Avenue restaurant, in Houghton-le-Spring, which offered to prepare and deliver the food free of charge. The delivery included sandwiches, scones, water and fresh fruit.
Andrea said: "Jessica was absolutely delighted when she won this award. She says she is so happy to accept it and so pleased she has done something lovely to help people.
"She's really hardworking and loves art work. So when the lockdown started, she starting making rainbow pictures and just cracked on with it.
"She was quite committed about wanting to raise money for the NHS staff and give them something nice.
"She had heard how they were working long hours and, at that time, there were long queues outside shops. She thought they might be missing out on food at work and decided she wanted to get them afternoon tea."
