Hello,

a bit about me:

​

Hi! My name is Ashleigh and I am a 10 year old girl trying to make a difference in the lives of children, elderly people and animals in need!
​
Just this year, I have been able to help raise over $35,000 in monetary and product donations! I have raised money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, American Heart Association, Double R Horse Rescue, The Northeast Nebraska Humane Society, I collected produce from our garden and delivered it to elderly in our community in my Free Market for Seniors Project, and my current project I am very excited about! My Holiday Giving Drive will help bring joy to elderly people living in nursing homes this holiday season! Here is more about my latest project! (See my Current Projects Tab for pictures!) 
​
2012 Holiday Giving Drive
I decided to do something very special for Christmas this year! I am collecting CLEAN, NEW/LIKE NEW stuffed animals for a Holiday Giving Drive for elderly folks residing in nursing homes. All to benefit folks in Northeast Nebraska. The holidays are the saddest time of the year for people in nursing homes that have no family or have family that is far away. I want to help make them smile and know that they are cared about! My great grandparents had lots of family visit them regularly, but I could see that there were lots of people in the nursing home that didn't have that. They always liked talking to me and I liked talking to them! It is amazing the difference a small act of kindness can make to an elderly person in a nursing home.
If you have any CLEAN, NEW/LIKE NEW stuffed animals that you would like to donate to my cause, I would appreciate your help. I hope to be able to make donations at several nursing homes!
​
 
Here is my address:
​​Ashleigh Nelson's Giving Drive
POB 254
Tilden, NE 68781



If you don't have stuffed animals, but would like to help, here is what you can do! I have picked out items and put them on an Amazon Wish List, where you can order and send them directly to me for me to deliver to the elderly. I also started an IndieGoGo Website where I am accepting monetary donations and will purchase items in late November. 

​
Thank you very much! If you would to help me with my Holiday Giving Drive, please see the links below to make a donation to my IndieGoGo Website or my Amazon Wish List! Thank you so much for all of your support!
