The family of Mikaeel Kular have thanked the community for their support since his body was discovered almost a month ago.
Residents in the Muirhouse area of Edinburgh have been working together to raise funds for a memorial to pay tribute to three-year-old Mikaeel.
Now his grandparents Harjinder and Bangarpet have expressed their gratitude to people who helped search for him and left condolences outside his home.
And they have also revealed they wish to donate to the memorial set up in Mikaeel's name.
In a card to the Tenants and Residents in Muirhouse (TRIM), they said: "We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the help and support we have received from the community in Edinburgh and especially TRIM.
"In particular we would like to thank the parishioners of St Andrews Church, Edinburgh for their efforts, support, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Our family would also like to express our appreciation to those who have initiated the memorial fund for Mikaeel, especially TRIM, Deacon Helen Fisher and the community of North Edinburgh.
"Our family would like to donate towards the Mikaeel Kular Memorial Fund."
Mikaeel's body was found in Fife after he went missing.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
