A Danbury boy is using his woodworking skills by making wooden shaped hearts that he is giving out to doctors and nurses during the pandemic.
Frankie DeMunda is following in his grandpa's footsteps with a woodworking shop of his very own.
He says it was around Christmas time when he had a friend in the hospital battling leukemia.

DeMunda made a wooden shaped tree for his friend, and all the children at the hospital loved them so he says he built more.
Recently, though since the pandemic, DeMunda has been making wooden shaped hearts.
The 12-year-old delivered more than 100 wooden shaped hearts to local doctors and nurses.
He says he also sells his hearts and donates proceeds from the sales to buy meals for families in need and front-line workers.
DeMunda has even teamed up with a few of his favorite restaurants to make it happen.
