THIS STORY COMES FROM KHOU.COM:
Most children spent their summer playing in the sun, but not Kiley Mullen, a six-year-old girl who made it her summer project to help those in need.
The young girl raised over $1,000 for the St. Jude’s Children Hospital after becoming inspired while watching an infomercial showing Marlo Thomas making an appeal for funds for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
A few days later, Kiley saw an episode of Hannah Montana where Hannah and her friends were doing a fundraiser. She was fresh out of Kinder and only five years old when she decided to take on this challenge to help a good cause.
At first Kiley wanted to donate her piggy bank money to help the sick children at St. Jude’s, but after deciding she didn't have enough money, she decided to take another route.
She went knocking door-to-door with a decorated can in her hands. In company of her mother, Kiley asked her neighbors to help the sick children of St. Jude’s Hospital.
With her grandmother’s help, she got a large sign donated by Kinko’s which she used to ask for donations. Kiley spent several of her Saturday’s sitting in front of Arlan’s Supermarket and Kroger’s store with her card table and her sign soliciting donations for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
Kiley’s determination paid off and before she went back to school, she had accomplished more than most do during the summertime. Just before school started last week, she reached her goal of raising $l,000.
