A ten - year - old girl raised over 30,000 pounds for a children’s hospice(收容所) in just eight months.
What she did was to play her violin to the people who passed by in the street.
Madison Glinski from the UK is a very caring girl. She made a New Year’s resolution to help poor children last year. She planned to raise 500 pounds for a local children’s hospice before Christmas. But since she began playing the violin in the street at Easter, she had raised 32,520 pounds by the end of the year. She also raised money by selling her own toys. Madison’s mother supported her daughter’s idea. She said, “Madison has a musical talent. She has played the violin since the age of four. I am glad that she has used it to help others. She has a special passion(热情) for it.”
It is not the first time for Madison to help others. A few years ago, Madison asked her parents if they could all go to Africa at Christmas to help the children there. She collected toys, shoes, school things and clothes from her friends and neighbors and took them to Africa. As soon as the family returned, Madison started to plan for the next trip.
