A 9 years old girl declines Xmas presents to spend money on pet food

Lydia, a nine-year-old Washington resident, is deserving of Xmas presents as a reward for her good behavior.

But unlike most kids, she wanted to support those who were in desperate need.

She decided to skip the toys this time and only requested the necessary amount of food for the cats and dogs housed in one of the neighborhood shelters.

Just before Xmas, the animal shelter shared a picture of the girl next to a cart full to the brim with pet food and other supplies.

By the holidays, the girl had gathered enough money to purchase up to 250 kilograms of food, toys, and accessories for animals.

When Lydia walked outside for the first time at age six, the perceptive child was deeply moved by the reality that many animals did not have their own homes.

Lydia has been doing this for three years. Internet users shared their joy at the girl’s behavior, congratulated her parents for raising her well, and voiced their desire for more children to follow in her parents’ footsteps.

What an amazing child. Hopefully many kids will learn from her.
