My name is Allie and I’m 11 years old. My mom told me about you while watching TV. I’ve been looking for a charity to help since I was 8 or 9. Since I’ve been lucky enough to have a toy chest and shelves with teddy bears on them I thought I could take from my good fortune and give to someone in need.

Next year for school I need to volunteer in order to graduate, but I’d like to start now. I may be young but when I set my mind to something it gets done so I will be starting a Hugs chapter in my area of Colorado.

I will be doing this mainly on my own. My parents will help me some though.
