After creating her very own Charity Called Beauty Cures Project. Ezrah spends most if not all of his free time helping with the charity.

Nevaeh

I would love to nominate my sweet little cousin Nevaeh. She is only 8 years old and she has a heart of gold.  This little girl wears her heart on her shoulder and genuinely enjoys helping people.  About a month ago we were in downtown Salt Lake and we drove past the homeless shelter. She asked why those people were sleeping outside. I explained to her that they were homeless and they have major struggles.  I reminded her to be so thankful for the life she lives,  that she has food, shelter and loved ones.  I could tell she really listened to me.  Well last week she decided that she wanted to make goodie bags for the homeless (completely her idea).she decided to go door to door around the neighborhood asking for donations of any kind.  She had a cute little wagon to carry everything.  She came home with bags of clothes,  toys,  and tons of food. I couldn't believe my eyes.  She separated everything equally and went to the family shelter in Midvale. She hand delivered the bags to the families in need.  For only being 8 years old she truly amazes me. She will make a difference in this world.

Travis Anderson

 I wish to nominate my son Travis Anderson who is 13 years old. He collected 78 used bikes from our neighborhood to donate to refugees and poor families in our community. He passed out 1000 flyers to homes in our neighborhood and is still getting donations. He is currently teaching neighborhood kids and families basic skills in flat repairs for the tires and will donate them to the Provo Bicycle Collective who will do some more repairs before they provide them to refugees and poor families. School work can be a challenge for Travis but working on bikes and knowing how his efforts will help other people has really motivated him. He has a way of reaching out to others who need a friend and teaching them skills.

Caylin

Caylin, 12 is always going out of her way to include others and make them feel special. She has an eye for seeing those that are in need. Her heart is so big. Today, on our hike with a group of girls,  she noticed a girl that was sitting by herself eating her lunch. She decided to go sit with her and talk with her.  This is just one example but, she can often be found doing something nice for another to help them feel wanted and loved.

Morgan Underwood

Morgan is a 17 year old student at Murray High School, where she is the co-president of their Peer Leadership Team. PLT is a diverse group of students that lead campaigns to educate their peers on social issues impacting kids today, such as mental health and dating violence.  This xmas the student body and PLT lead an effort to raise money for the Make-a-Wish foundation and sponsored a very special little boy awaiting a liver transplant. Through their leadership the school raised over 7 thousand dollars to send this little boy and his family to Disneyland.  Whether it is volunteering at the kitten nursery, passing out hand made burritos downtown to the homeless, or organizing groups to work at the Utah Food Bank, Morgan loves to help others and is constantly thinking of ideas to make a difference.

Brooklyn Sperry

Isabella Eskelson

I nominate my kind hearted daughter, Isabella Eskelson. She is 12. Her birthday is right before Christmas and when she turned 9, she asked to help those in need instead of receiving gifts at her party. We contacted The Family Promise homeless shelter and received a wish list for a family with 7 kids in need. We asked each friend to bring one or more items to the party. The girls also made personalized stockings stuffed with lots of goodies for the kids. After Christmas she received a hand written note from the family thanking her for giving their kids a Christmas. Then,she turned 10.This time she wanted to help the Christmas Box House by donating stuffed animals to put in their entry way for the kids to pick out when they first arrive. We had a mobile Build a Bear company come to our house and each friend made a special stuffed animal with a little note included. She also bought over $200 worth of books, coloring supplies, blankets and toys for Primary Children's Hospital in Riverton. Isabella chose to spend her bday money from family on kids who are bravely battling sickness.She received a letter from the hospital thanking her for her kindness. Isabella also spends a lot of time volunteering & donating at the Humane Society, its one of her favorite places to be. She loves bringing them food and making homemade treats for her furry friends. She loves to love. I'm so proud to be her mom. I LOVE HER! Thank you:)
