Eight-year-old Raven Casas woke up one morning and told her family she wanted to do something to help others.
In the last three months, Raven accomplished what she set out to do and collected $2,500 to donate to the Children’s Fund of San Bernardino County, according to the San Bernardino Sun.
The Children’s Fund’s mission is to prevent child abuse in our community; to ensure that at-risk children who are abused, neglected, impoverished, or abandoned receive adequate food, shelter, clothing, medical care and education; and to provide equal opportunity for social development for these children.
Raven collected donations at school, at her mother’s workplace, at the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians tribal headquarters and her karate studio.
This 8-year-old girl is just another example of how San Bernardino County residents are helping to achieve the Countywide Vision.
