I imagine that Isabelle on her own could do a better job than the entire UN or USAID.
What an awesome young girl!
And it doesn’t require government taking money from people that have it, who also need it to use on their own “projects.”
A great sucess story
Absolutely fantastic. What a heartwarming story, and inspiring little girl. I’m going to share this with my six-year-old daughter.
This is what people can do when government is out of the picture and people can follow their compassionate heart.
I’m sorry. I looked at this child’s work. Anyone buying this card is doing the equivalent of saying ‘isn’t it cute. HOw nice I guess I’ll help by buying this card.” The picture is crap ( even for a 7 year old) if you wish to donate money to a group that does similar work why not take the time to find one that has LOW over head and delivers most of the effort to those in need.
I hate these kinds of stories. It isn’t about anything other than guilt tripping others into giving to your project
We could all learn a lesson from this child. What a great story - it’s nice to hear good news. Thanks for posting.-—JM
Tax her into the ground! How dare her display independence and innovation!! Isn’t that the mantra today?
What a wonderful story, that is how it should be, people giving out of love, concern and compassion, not forced to give through taxes that end up in some fat cat’s pocket while the poor remain without.
No real correlation, but here’s a funny email I rec’d;
I recently asked my friends’ little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, ‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do? ‘
She replied, ‘I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.’
Her parents beamed.
‘Wow...what a worthy goal.’ I told her, ‘But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that.. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and rake my yard, and I’ll pay you $50.
Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house. ‘
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ‘ Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?
I said, ‘Welcome to the Republican Party.’
Her parents still aren’t speaking to me.
How does one build an orphanage of any quality with $5,000? My backyard shed cost me $2,000, and my son and I put it together— no running water, no electricity.
Zang! I can’t even draw a squiggly line.
