My Momma readed about a 12 year old girl named Mimi Ausland who lives in Bend, Oregon which isn't too terribly far from me. Mimi loves animals and when she was 9 she started volunteering at the local shelter because she cares about animals so much.
Mimi, with the help of her folks, created a web site that helps shelters face food shortages. See, a Portland company donates 10 pieces of dry food to a shelter for every answered question that Mimi thinks up. Every day Mimi puts on her thinking cap and comes up with a question and every day I go over to her site and guess the answer. Since April Mimi has provided a half million meals to homeless animals, becoming the sole supplier to 11 shelters nationwide. That is just amazing for someone to do let alone a young bean!
So come on, please come play too!
This was such a cool and creative idea from this young person.
I agree! When I was 12 I wasn’t nearly so smart. Neither was my Momma but don’t tell her I said that.
Mimi is an amazing youngster. I didn’t realize that she made up all the questions herself. I visit every day.
Mimi, sounds like a very special girl. FAZ
What an incredible young girl!
That’s a very good thing to do … and an amazing story. I went there a while back, but forgot to keep going back. Thanks for the reminder.
This was so fun! And when the mouse moved over the cat and it meowed, it made my bro go all cuckoo. That was pretty fun, too!
This is one of my favorite sites. When she started it the donation was 20 pieces of kibble, but it got too popular! That’s a great problem to have!
