I begged mum to let me stay home from school so that I could make Meghan a pasta necklace and give it to her. I dipped the pasta into gold paint and threaded some ribbon through the pasta.
It was my idea ... mum helped a bit. Then we made a sign that read "I Made You A Necklace".
I was so happy that she loved it and wore it!
I want to be like the Prince and Princess and support charities. I made more necklaces the same as Meghan’s. If I sell them, I’ll send all the profits to research for stillborn babies. My sister, Clara, was stillborn in 2014 and I don’t want it to happen anymore.
I found the perfect research program that will figure out why babies like Clara die and stop it from happening. Mercy Perinatal Hospital came up with a blood test that tells doctors which babies might be stillborn so that they can deliver them and save their lives. I am very excited that my necklace money can help save other babies.
In my first two weeks, I raised $8,000 and donated it to Mercy Perinatal. The money will help them make the blood test better. They were so happy and I was so proud! This is me giving the cheque to Professor Sue Walker.
So far, my necklaces have raised over $18,000 for Mercy Perinatal.
