"In many ways,
she's a very normal
11-year-old. But
when it comes to
her service for
others, that's just
her thing. We've
said for many years
that kindness is her
hobby."
- Ruby's mom, Amanda
"I told her that it's a gift, that she
can see what other people are going
through. She's seen that through this
project, she can help people and what
she has is a super power. She's gone
from being shy and insecure, where
all these little words at school would
hurt her, to being bullet-proof and
very self-confident. This project has
really changed her as a person."
And now Ruby Kate's project is
more than her own compassionate
wish come true. Three Wishes
for Ruby Kate officially became a
nonprofit organization in February,
which means it's tax exempt and can
receive donations through Amazon
Smile. It also can expand nationally
and form chapters in other states
so volunteers all over America can
grant wishes to residents in nursing
homes who need extra doses of
tender loving care.
Ruby has a message to kids
everywhere: "Don't let anything
hold you back from doing good,
because good is a good thing."
