| Young Cassie is giving up her birthday gifts to help raise money for people who have food allergies like her. |
Cassie Smith is only 7, but she understands the danger of living with a deadly peanut allergy.
So for her birthday, reports Jennifer Carole, the little girl decided she wanted to do something to find a cure for her allergy.
When Cassie sent out her birthday invitations, she asked friends to
donate to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network instead of buying
presents.
So far, she has raised about $750 and is feeling great about
forgoing gifts for this great cause, said Jennifer, whose daughter
Katie Carole is a friend of Cassie’s.
Cassie and her friends spent her birthday painting plates at the Pottery Parlor in Aptos.

Cassie is a shining example of selflessness and generous thoughts. It is a lesson for others to follow, what Cassie is doing as a seven year old! When most kids look forward to receiving gifts on their birthdays and even fuss about them, Cassie has decided to think for a greater and humane cause. Cassie,I wish u good luck!
