A 10-year-old
Whitby, Ont. girl is using her summer break to raise money for the Canadian
Cancer Society, one odd job at a time.
Francesca
LoGiacco, who recently launched the "My Summer’s Not
Gonna Be A Bummer", has already raised more than $1,500 by
doing a number of chores for people in her community and running a lemonade
stand in her school’s parking lot.
Since last
month, LoGiacco -- who has been blogging about
her campaign -- has baked cookies for a senior’s home, feed cats and helped a
mom walk her dog.
Some of the
tasks LoGiacco suggests on her blog include: washing cars, pulling weeds,
visiting seniors in long-term care homes, and flower pruning.
"I will
do tasks asked by my donors … and donate all the money I have made to the
foundation," LoGiacco says on her blog, which is managed by her mom.
The
self-described "worker bee" has already lost five family members to
cancer, including her aunt, two great-grandparents, her grandmother and her
21-year-old cousin, reports the Durham Region. (www.durhamregion.com)
"My heart
was broken," LoGiacco told the newspaper, describing how she felt after
the loss of her family members.
LoGiacco, who
will be entering Grade 5 this fall, has been posting pictures of herself doing
various odd jobs, as well as thank you notes from her "clients."
"Thank
you for making me my cookies. It will help me recover faster especially since I
can’t bake!" reads a note written by a donor named Jessica.
"What you
are doing is amazing, raising money for cancer! You are an inspiration."
