As Danielle Colburn was nearing her ninth birthday, she decided she wanted to make a difference and do something that most kids her age would never consider. The nine year old wanted to throw a huge birthday party in order to raise money and supplies for the Auburn Area Animal Rescue Foundation.
She approached her parents with the idea, both of whom were shocked and proud of their young daughter’s generosity. Danielle further explained the details she had been imagining. In lieu of presents, guests would be encouraged to donate items to the shelter. And the young girl’s only gifts requested from her parents were dog and cat food, kitty litter, travel cages, chew toys and other similar items.
Danielle’s sacrifice was both admirable and inspiring. For someone so young to be so selfless is extraordinary. One can only hope that this giving act will inspire others to follow Danielle’s lead and give back to a good cause.
