9 Year-Old Girl Spends Her Free Time Building Shelters And Growing Food For The Homeless
9 year-old Hailey Fort began helping the homeless four years ago when she saw a homeless man on the side of the road and asked her mother if there was anything she could do.
They bought him lunch and from there, Hailey has taken it upon herself to help the needy.
She now spends all of her spare time building mobile sleeping shelters. Thanks to donations, each shelter costs only about $300 to build. After huge success Hailey decided to aim bigger and make even more shelters the coming year.
“It just doesn’t seem right that there are homeless people. I think everyone should have a place to live.”
She also started a garden, Hailey’s Harvest, which she used to donate 128 pounds of produce in 2014. She has since upped her target to grow more produce this year.
In addition to food and shelters, she donates toiletries, feminine hygiene products, and clothing.
Hailey documents her progress on her Facebook page, Hailey’s Harvest. Please check her out. She’s an amazing young lady. It really is inspiring that even at a young age she is being so selfless and doing her bit to help those in desperate need. We are in ore of her efforts for a worthy cause. We wish her all the best at smashing her targets.
