Ally Del Monte is a 10 year old who feels strongly about helping others. She has taken on many causes in the past, — Hurricane Relief, Alex’s Lemonade Stand, CROPWALK, and a Massai Schools in Kenya, Africa.
This year, her cause is animals, specifically dogs. Ally and her family usually foster special needs animals and provide hospice care for them, but they had to take a break. Not wanting to stop helping them, Ally wrote book about a Puppy Mill dog’s life, and hopes to sell the book and use the profits to help animals in need, and people with vet care costs. Ally’s book is called “Lilly’s Story”, written and illustrated by herself.
I was so happy her proud mom contacted me to tell me Ally’s story. They created a blog — Lilly’s Story — to spread the word.
From Ally’s Mom:
I am amazingly proud of Ally, not only is she a leader in an activist kind of way, but in her daily life. She feels strongly about standing up for what she believes in, be it bullying in school, littering at the park, or just being a nice person. She makes my heart sing! She leads by example, the best way possible to lead.
Ally is also in a contest to win $10,000 to help her realize her goal of making a pet rescues funding source to help rescues and people with their vet care costs during these tough economic times. The contest is won by votes, so the more people who vote for her, the closer she comes to winning!
You can vote for Ally here. Please, help spread the word!
It’s so inspiring to read about the efforts of young people like Ally. If you know an empowered young leader who is doing great things, please share his or her story!
