One day my mom and I were sitting in her office looking at a magazine called Humane Society News.We read a very sad story about a wild dog named Solo died because he was lack of medical care after he was ill.I knew how sad the story was because my own dog,Kela,had recently died.I felt like my world had ended when I lost Kela.She had been my best friend since I could remember.

The article went on to tell about wildlife rehabilitators.They nursed the sick animals back to health,but as more and more animals were rescued,the medical expense became a big burden for them.I immediately made up my mind to do something for them.I may be a kid,but why can’t I do a fund-raiser to help save more dogs?

My mom thought it was hard for an eleven-year-old girl to raise,but she told me to go ahead and try it anyway.At that point,I realized that I needed a name for the fund-raiser and thought since I was trying to protect dogs’ life,I would call my program Help Dogs.

I decided that pet stores would be really good places to go with donation boxes and Help Dogs flyers.I used little green Chinese take-out boxes,decorated with a picture of Tiko,one of the dogs I chose to help,and me.I wrote on each box“Help protect the life of dogs by donating a dollar”.I thought that my actions might not raise much money for the dogs,but they can at least increase people’s awareness of wild animals protection.

One aftemoon,after all the boxes had been distributed throughout our community,I got a call from a local newspaper reporter who had seen one of my flyers.The reporter decided to do an article about Help Dogs.After the article came out,I waited for a few days before checking to see if there were any donations.
