Local girl helps sweeten the holiday season for less fortunate
A grade 3 student at Queen Mary School made it her Christmas wish this year to give back to the city’s less fortunate, even offering the money she received from the tooth fairy and a bake sale.
Summer Thomas, 8, raised $142 through sugar cookies she made and sold at the La Fille De Madeleine Christmas Sale. Summer explained to paNOW, why she wanted to help.
“Because I felt bad and they might be freezing,” she said.
Prior to the sale, Summer had lost a tooth and received $7 from the tooth fairy which she told her mother she wanted to use to buy items for the homeless. When her mother explained to her $7 wasn’t going to help the homeless too much, Summer decided to sell the cookies.
