THE GREATNESS
OF GABY!
By Renee Durham • Official Kids Mag
Gaby R., our Kid Hero this month, had a
birthday on September 11. Gaby attends
Lowell Elementary School, and is one
AWESOME kid. We're going to tell you why.
Official Kids Mag found out Gaby celebrated her 10th birthday by
getting donations for Lowell Animal Shelter. This is the third year
Gaby has gotten donations instead of birthday presents just to help
out the animals at the Shelter. She has been doing this since she was
7 years old!
We asked Gaby how she got started donating for her birthday, she
said "Every time I go into a shelter, I feel so bad that those animals
don't have a home and I just feel like I have a way to improve the
way they live in the shelter, so I decided to donate."
Gaby received lots of dog and cat food, toys, and other pet
supplies. Along with all the donations of items, she took any money
donated and bought more stuff for the shelter. Plus, we found out
Gaby donated items to the Springdale Animal Shelter too.
Gaby doesn't just donate items. She donated the adoption fee for
a kitty who needed a home at Wilson Zoo Cat Rescue.
And Gaby's pets came from a shelter. Her two cats, Honey Bun
