Keely Schuck, the 9-year-old girl who asked for donations to Heifer International instead of gifts on her birthday, has now raised more than $1,900. Her original goal was $500.
Since posting this video on YouTube, Keely has raised enough money to purchase at least three dairy cows for an organization devoted to sustainable solutions to world hunger.
Along the way, she's received donations from complete strangers; was able to meet local hunger activist Tim Strommer with Kids Against Hunger; and has been lauded by people across the community.
But most importantly, she fulfilled her birthday wish of doing "something meaningful in the world."
Well done, Keely.
