Katelynn Hardee, who studies at Breeze Hill Elementary School, realized that some of her classmates’ families are unable to pay off their lunch balances. She discussed with her mother about the situation and decided to do something about it.
“She’s very inquisitive,” Katelynn’s mother, Karina Hardee, told FOX 5. “So she started asking me a bunch of questions and I tried to answer as best as I could without too much for a 5-year-old and just explained to her that some people aren’t as fortunate as us.”
Katelynn then came up with a plan to help: “I can give money to the lunch people so they’ll have money,” she said.
She sold lemonade during summer but this time decided to organize another stand. She sold hot cocoa and cookies. She baked the cookies and made the hot cocoa herself, and set up shop for three hours.
Katelynn’s mom reached the school to know how she could donate the money to help the students.
“I just left a note saying my daughter held a hot cocoa fundraiser over the weekend and would love to donate the money to any of the negative accounts,” Karina Hardee said.
They ended up raising money to pay off the lunch balances for 123 students.
Karina Hardee said she was moved by her daughter’s selflessness and the impact her good deed has had on others.
“Her actions do create awesomeness,” she said.
The school also awarded Katelynn for her kindness.
“It is truly inspiring to see Katelynn’s compassion and generous nature utilized to help those less fortunate,” said Jamie Phillips, Director of Child Nutrition Services for Vista Unified School District.
