Raising Cash
Addie explained to her parents about she managed to end up with such money in her bag. “I just hold a sign that says, ‘For my birthday wish, “I want to raise $8,000 for Texas Scottish Rite Hospital.’” They were staring at Addie in absolute disbelief as soon as they discovered the truth. This sweet 7-year-old had thought of this money-raising campaign on her own. She was so thoughtful of others after the ordeal she had been through that she wanted to help others in need on the day of her birthday.
Proud Mom
Addie had suffered a lot in life specifically for a 7-year-old but yet she was thoughtful towards others and wanted to pay back to the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for everything they had done for her. While Addie’s mom thought that Addie was too young, in fact, a kid and she had never imagined that her daughter would act above her age. The selfless demeanor of Addie was nothing short of awe-inspiring that clearly spoke out loud for her level maturity is beyond her age.
Donations Poured In
Addie’s mother was proud of her little daughter’s act and it took her no time to join the cause. She went out to stand next to her daughter in a busy Texas neighborhood to support her cause. The doctors were doubtful and it was only weeks ago when they had warned Addie’s mother that she might never walk again but the rest is history. And here she stood with a sign in her hand, on a scorching hot day, giving her all to repay to the place that once helped her.
Going Viral
It didn’t take long for people to notice the kind act of Addie as the neighbors and the people passing by caught her sight and appreciated her selfless efforts. The media too was attracted by Addie’s generosity, and her story was shared online by a lot of people. Addie was expecting to collect $8,000, and it was the ultimate goal she had set and she would soon make the cut but to her surprise, she would not only reach the amazing figure but get far beyond that.
A Fighter
Addie’s story made its way to the social media and people were quite impressed by what they were witnessing. Everyone could tell that Addie had a heart of gold and even her parents were showered with praises for bringing up such a compassionate being. A kid often learns from his parents and surroundings and her selfless act was perhaps an example of the things she had seen growing up. Although her struggles in life had developed her character what was she going to do with the amount she had?
Quite The Entrepreneur
A normal 7-year-old wouldn’t think more than playing with his friends or watching animated cartoons but this little girl had more serious things to look forward to in life. It would take a lot of time for anyone to make a whopping $20,000 but Addie managed to do it in no time. While this was quite a benchmark in itself but she would soon find out that her campaign was literally going places. After a few days, Addie received an anonymous note accompanied with a check for a sum of $50,000 to help kids who have similar struggles and health issues much like little Addie once had. But do you know that Addie had a strong reason to help the hospital?
