She quickly became a Girl Scout to save money and give back, and with the help of her friends and family, she donated 60 boxes of cookies to the doctors, nurses, and staff at her clinic. She was diagnosed when she was 6 years old and, after three years of fighting the illness, Maeve now enjoys her good health with a grateful attitude and generous spirit.
In 2020, Maeve finished treatment for leukemia. Kirby Kangaroo also gave her a lego set, coloring kit, and $50 Barnes & Noble gift card. We wanted to add our own "gift to give" for Averie's birthday, so Visions granted her a $100 check for a shopping spree! The money will help her purchase even more gifts for the hospital, and Averie can't wait to make her delivery. The video went viral, and her friends and family would end up collecting $1,000! The donations went to Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital in Syracuse, NY. Kirby Kangaroo also presented her with a $100 check.Īverie was planning her first in-person birthday party since the start of the pandemic, and she was turning eight! She decided to ask her friends and family via a Facebook video to bring "gifts to give" instead of traditional birthday presents. We were so impressed by Stella's work that Visions donated an assortment of arts and crafts to her cause. In July, she'll be headed to Princess of America's national event in Branson, MO to present her community service projects to a panel of judges and a theatre full of people from around the nation! She educates other children about mental health and how to develop healthy coping skills.
Through this experience, Stella's platform Express Your Color was born.
After struggling with anxiety, Stella found solice through art and became inspired to help other kids deal with mental health issues, working closely with the Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier. Stella is Princess of America's Miss New York Ambassador! At just 7 years old, she has a passion for service and has collected donations of clothing, non-perishable food items, money, and art supplies for children in need in the Binghamton, NY area.
