Mountview students speak out about donating

It makes me feel sure that a ten year old girl like me can make a big difference and make someone happy.
Antonia, grade 5
 
I feel like I’m full of joy when I know someone is getting a present when they usually don’t.
Sienna, grade 5
 
There are people in the world that are less fortunate than us. When I donated to a kid it made me feel happy to think that someone was going to have a present under their tree. It feels good to donate to people. PEOPLE NEED OUR HELP.
Iva, grade 6
 
When I donated to a mother and a 10 year old boy I felt really happy that they would have presents at Christmas and they could feel the happiness of the holidays and that made me feel really special.
Olivia, grade 6
 
It makes me feel really, really great because when I give I know that it probably will make somebody feel happy and I know that I made someone have a bit of a better day. Also when I make a donation I know I made someone happy.
Maya, grade 3
 
When I was buying the toy I felt very good to be giving to others. When I saw the toy I was giving to a little boy I felt very happy. To know that I am giving toys, food, treats and other comforting things to families that are sick and have had bad things happen to them, it makes me feel really good to think I have made other families happy at Christmas time.
Olivia, grade 3

I feel great to give to others because giving to others is doing a nice thing to the world and to people. And giving to others is making a difference. I mostly give stuff every time we have a food drive, toy drive, clothes drive and sock drive. I hope the people like the stuff I give to them. If our whole world didn’t give to others that wouldn’t be good.
Krista, grade 4     
 
It feels GREAT to donate. Donating makes a difference to people’s lives. I know that donating is important.   
Eofor, grade 3

When you give it feels as good as on Christmas when your friends and family come over and you have dinner as a family and it’s like if you get a puppy you feel so happy it clears all the bad things in life and switches it with good things so I would say donate to Here to Help and you will make someone’s day.
Brynn, grade 4

It feels good to give to others because it might make a big difference to that person. When I give, it makes me feel like that person is becoming a new person.
Rhys, grade 4
