She sent the organization a letter explaining what her daughter was doing and wanting to help.
In turn the organization sent six letters written by girls in Cambodia who are using the resources Olivia’s donations went to. The girls wrote about how thankful they were and how their lives are better because of her heart for others.

Olivia says she is excited to take advantage of the opportunity. She hopes her story will inspire others to donate to the organization.
