11-Year-Old Raises $4000 For Children’s Shelter

An 11-year-old girl in West Palm Beach, Florida has raised $4000 for a children’s shelter…and she started when she was a first-grader.

Each year, Olivia Knowles gives a check to workers at Grandma’s Place, a shelter for abused and neglected children that also offers short-term care for children with disabilities and the people who watch over them. It all started when she was a 6-year-old first grader. That’s when the news first interviewed her…and she just kept growing her business.

This year’s donation was the biggest yet at over $4,000.  The Olivia’s Annual Hot Cocoa Stand social media page shared the news.
