Here's our Maddi! So proud of her and Emi and what they accomplished together!! ❤️
Meet Madi.
At just 8 years old, she saw the heartbreaking effects wildfires were having on people in our region and decided she wanted to help.
So, alongside her friend Emmy, she set up a lemonade stand at her mom's workplace and got to work raising funds for wildfire relief.
They raised nearly $400, plus a matching contribution from a local company, and even a donation from Madi's own savings account.
Together, they brought in an incredible $783 for people affected by the wildfires. Their donation helps us to support local organizations and communities providing immediate relief and longer-term recovery to displaced British Columbians.
We're inspired by Madi's generosity and determination to help those who need it. Her actions are proof that you are never too young to make a difference.
Thank you, Madi and Emmy. You're helping bring hope when it's needed most. ❤️
