Miami, FL, 33132

What's the problem you are trying to solve?: 
The City of Miami, Florida, is the second poorest urban area in the United States.  Tragically, thousands of people, mainly children, are without proper clothing or shelter.  One in three Miami children lives below the poverty level.  This sad reality is contrasted with the extreme wealth of other Miami-Dade communities, such as South Beach and Fisher Island.  About three years ago, my friends and I decided to contribute back to the community by collecting clothes for donations to homeless charities.  We soon found ourselves with more than 60  hefty bags of clothes.  Our target this year is to exceed that number and to use any other funds available for the purchases of new school items for children, such as backpacks and school supplies.  Any money left over would be given, as a cash donation, to the two charities.
Why is it important to you?: 
I truly believe that this project is going to escalate this year to serve more children and families than the previous two years.  My friends and I will be starting our campaign at school early in the year, encouraging other students and faculty members to remember the homeless each time they think of discarding or giving away used clothing, shoes and accessories.  We also wish to help homeless students to feel prepared for school by giving them new supplies.  Only quality clothing and other items are donated.  If something needs repair, such as new buttons or new heels on shoes, we will take responsibility for fixing it/them before donating.  In this way, we hope to make the new school year a successful one for every child in Miami-Dade County, Florida.  I am 14 years old now and my plan is to continue this project for many years to come.
What's your plan of action?: 
Since the sixth grade, my friends and I have undertaken a service project in which we collect the nearly new used clothing of all the students at Miami Country Day School.  As a private school, we are privileged to have collections of lovely designer clothes to recycle for the homeless.  Once we separate the clothing and ensure that all the buttons and zippers are intact, we take them to the Miami Rescue Mission and the Community Partnership for the Homeless.  This year, my plan is to expand the project by challenging each student to gather an extra bag of clothing by asking neighbors and friends for donations.
How Can Others Help?: 
Help us to spread the word that all people, regardless of their financial means, can dress up and feel proud of their appearance.

What's the problem you are trying to solve?: 
The City of Miami, Florida, is the second poorest urban area in the United States.  Tragically, thousands of people, mainly children, are without proper clothing or shelter.  One in three Miami children lives below the poverty level.  This sad reality is contrasted with the extreme wealth of other Miami-Dade communities, such as South Beach and Fisher Island.  About three years ago, my friends and I decided to contribute back to the community by collecting clothes for donations to homeless charities.  We soon found ourselves with more than 60  hefty bags of clothes.  Our target this year is to exceed that number and to use any other funds available for the purchases of new school items for children, such as backpacks and school supplies.  Any money left over would be given, as a cash donation, to the two charities.

Why is it important to you?: 
I truly believe that this project is going to escalate this year to serve more children and families than the previous two years.  My friends and I will be starting our campaign at school early in the year, encouraging other students and faculty members to remember the homeless each time they think of discarding or giving away used clothing, shoes and accessories.  We also wish to help homeless students to feel prepared for school by giving them new supplies.  Only quality clothing and other items are donated.  If something needs repair, such as new buttons or new heels on shoes, we will take responsibility for fixing it/them before donating.  In this way, we hope to make the new school year a successful one for every child in Miami-Dade County, Florida.  I am 14 years old now and my plan is to continue this project for many years to come.

What's your plan of action?: 
Since the sixth grade, my friends and I have undertaken a service project in which we collect the nearly new used clothing of all the students at Miami Country Day School.  As a private school, we are privileged to have collections of lovely designer clothes to recycle for the homeless.  Once we separate the clothing and ensure that all the buttons and zippers are intact, we take them to the Miami Rescue Mission and the Community Partnership for the Homeless.  This year, my plan is to expand the project by challenging each student to gather an extra bag of clothing by asking neighbors and friends for donations.

Help us to spread the word that all people, regardless of their financial means, can dress up and feel proud of their appearance.
