Our story |
|
Hello! My name is Annie and I am a first year college student. When I was younger I was always looking for a way to change my community for the better. I remember calling animal shelters and food banks asking if I could volunteer when I was in elementary school! Understandably, I was told I was too young and an age limit made me believe for a moment I was too young to make a difference. My 8th grade year, I started collecting holiday cards for a local children's hospital! I thought it would be a great way to bring some extra joy to those kids around the holiday season, after all I was a kid and I still am! I gathered hundreds of cards from friends and family and got some friends together to sign them. I was able to deliver all of those cards and I learned that it is truly the little acts of kindness that make a big difference. I continued doing that around the holidays for two years. The following summer I decided to share with the world that it truly doesn't matter your age or how much time or money you have to spare, you CAN make a difference!
