Eleven Year Old Donates Birthday To Christmas House

For her birthday this year, Mckayla Cobb decided that she didn't want presents for herself. Instead, she asked all of her family and friends that were attending her birthday party to bring a donation for the Christmas house. She said, " I always get what I want, and I know there are kids here who don't." On top of this, several family members offered to send her money, she asked them to make a donation to St. Jude's for her. I can not get over the kindness of this 11 year old girl, and I wanted to share this story, especially this time of year!
