On Seven-year-old Amelia and four of her classmates wanted to do something for children in the community who did not have a home. The five students joined an organization called Destination Imagination who challenges children at a very young age to make a change and impact within their community.
Amelia and her classmates had a bake sale and sold goods at a neighborhood grocery store. The students raised $892.53. They researched organizations and agencies that assist children in the Greater Lawrence Area and found Casa Nueva Vida a family congregate shelter serving families. Amelia and her classmates presented the check on February 10, 2019, to Casa Nueva Vida , they asked the money be used to better the lives of all the children currently living at Casa Nueva Vida.
