The Problem
I am trying to help families affected by brain injury have fun. Families affected by brain injury oftentimes don't have the means to buy their children presents, or say take them to Chuck E' Cheese for their birthday. I am supporting these families by letting them have fun and just relax, and I also am letting the children take a break and enjoy themselves.
Plan of Action
I started out with basic fundraising, I would create small calenders and bookmarks, and I would sell them to raise money for the Krempels Brain Injury Foundation. I also would spend my weekly allowance towards benifiting TKBIF. When I was in middle school, David Krempels, the founder of TKBIF contacted me and asked if I would be interested in forming a branch of the foundation, to be called the Anna Fund. I eventually started making penguins out of socks, and I take every opportunity I get to sell them. The money that I make goes into the Anna Fund bank account and gathers interest. When an applicant applies, I review the application and most often approve. However to insure that the money is not used elsewhere, I go out and say buy a mall gift card, or gift card to Chuck E' Cheese. I have affected many families and to me just affecting one person is an enormous impact.
