My Volunteering and Community Service

People's lives change every day due to their behavior and experience. This summer I participated in a community service project that shined me in many ways. I am a volunteer at the county memorial hospital. While working as a hospital volunteer, I was able to meet patients and staff from all over the world and learn about their life experiences. Listening to all their stories made me really understand what I have. 

 

My Fundraising

I helped the nonprofits I work with secured more than $100k in donations last year. Hurrah!

 

My Charitable Wish List on Changing The Present

I love the idea of people changing the world with a meaningful donation instead of buying more unwanted merchandise. Imagine the difference we can make together! Please see my charitable wish list, and please create your own.
