4岁女孩把烘焙销售收入全部捐给需要帮助的人

Violet Shouse of Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a little girl with a big heart. She may only be 4 years old, but her giving spirit is beyond her years, especially when it comes to people in need. In November, she held a weekend bake sale and managed to raise hundreds of dollars! Even more impressive, she didn’t keep a penny of it for herself.

Giving comes naturally to Violet, as her family does voluntary work with Community Resource Bank. One day, the little girl saw a woman asking for money. She turned to her mom Berkeley and asked why. “I explained that she didn’t have food or a home,” Berkeley said. Violet wanted to help the woman and other people in her situation, so in October, she baked and sold rainbow bread to raise money for their local food bank. She not only helped buy 10 pounds of chicken for hungry families, but she was also recognized in the Kennedy Center’s Small Works Project for her act of kindness!

Then, in November, she set her sights even higher by selling baked goods in front of her house. After raising a total of $625, Violet put the money in an envelope and took it to the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, where she handed it to CEO Lori Long. According to Long, the donation will pay for more than 2,400 meals! “The work that she put in and wanting to come down and present it in person with her handwritten envelope is very special,” Long said.
