May God bless her mightily!
Public school indoctrination of minds full of mush. Pathetic. No 6-year-old knows enough about life to understand homelessness and what contributing factors are. She’s just being raised to be another BLM SJW punk. I do hope I’m wrong.
Pure BS.
Making a big splash out of donating to the poor?
More likely the parent’s idea.
Why should a 6 year-old have to think about “giving back to the community”?
It’s all Ivy League prep...though she’s probably already a lock but why take chances
Sure she did.
A blatant case of child exploitation by abusive adults.
This little girl has been ruined for life by the infusion of social awareness imposed on her.
If the child felt God’s calling to help homeless people, let it be. Have we all become so jaded that we can’t believe a child would want to help people in need?
Virtue signaling at its worst.
virtue signaling.
I think some are missing the bigger point here:
“Armani’s birthday party was a success, with the family feeding more than 125 people who gathered.”
NONE of us know the genesis of this girl’s generosity. Perhaps an extended family member spent some time on the streets and she (yes, it’s possible for a six-year-old) wanted to make a difference.
How about praising the kid and dispensing with the darker theories?
Well, congratulations to that sweet child and her family for their generosity. It turned out well, I think, for a number of people, and we all need to have our generous moments.
But can’t help but think about another story.
Did you hear the one about the little girl who passed a homeless beggar on the street and felt so sorry for him. She decided to visit a businessman and ask for money to give to the homeless man. The businessman said sure. This is how they could do it. She could spend a day weeding his garden and clipping his hedges. It would be hard work, but then he would give her $100, and she could take that to the homeless man. She thought about it and answered, well why can’t the homeless man weed your garden and clip your hedges and then you give him $100? Hmmmm, good idea, he responded, welcome to the Republican Party!!
I raised three kids, and never spent $300 on any one birthday for them.
I was obviously a horrible parent.
No 6 year old would give up her birthday stuff.
This was an adult convincing her to.
If this child travels throughout her city, and her city is anything like my city, she sees the homeless trudging about in the early morning and evening wearing their blankets and holding multiple plastic shopping bags (worn out ones) stuffed with their worldly possessions.
And if this child is anything like my own children were at that age, she asked many questions about why they were wearing blankets and/or were camped out on benches, alleys, sidewalks and dumpsters. And chances are, she was told they were homeless. And, if she’s anything like my kids, she had a million more questions about what homeless was and why.
Especially if she’s a smart kid.
My kids never asked to sacrifice their birthdays, but they sure did go out on their own to invite people over at thanks giving, even if they had to go hunt them down and drag them over. I had one child in particular with a very big heart.
Even as an adult, she has been known to do some crazy stuff. For example, one year she asked me to cook Thanksgiving dinner and take it to a known roudy bar. So, we did that. We brought the entire meal to that place where everyone ate. Most of the patrons were single men who had no place to go for that day. We stuck around and made some new friends who have been happy to pitch in when WE needed a helping hand.
They didn’t forget the meal. Two of those folks helped bring up a beautiful three piece glass and brass entertainment center center. It’s heavy, had to be brought up stairs onto a very low ceiling balcony, AND the banister had to be removed to swing one part around to get it into my home.
One of the men was a carpenter, and he recognized my daughter and I as the ones who brought in Thanksgiving dinner into a bar he was at.
You never know what will drift your way when you cast your bread upon the waters. It returns 7 fold.
I wasn’t charged for the services the carpenter performed for me. He still remembered that meal.
It’s not right to assume the worst with regard to the things people do. Especially when it comes to kids. Anything is possible, including the simple idea that the kid has a beautiful heart.
