Rylee McCune/Helps
Homeless: "Each time we do it, it's going to get bigger and bigger."
Nine-year-old
Rylee McCune and her cousin eleven-year-old Infinity White are not your average
kids.
Rylee says,
"I like feel bad for them. They're like really cold and probably
hungry."
On this cold
night instead of staying cozy at home they hit the streets.
Their goal to help
some of Vancouver’s homeless.
Rylee says,
"We saw a whole bunch of cold people and we wanted to give them
something."
The girls saved up
their allowance and put together a list.
They bought what
they needed with their own money.
Jeri
Bonham/Rylee's Mother: "They've just kind of been putting it in a little
box. We had $137 yesterday and that's how we got this stuff."
They made the trip
to downtown Vancouver and it didn't take long to find some people to help.
Jeri says,
"It melts my heart. It really does. They're good kids."
Christian
Pepple/Homeless: "It's not often that you see young folks out there
looking to do good and help out other people in life."
The girls say
they'll be back out again tomorrow.
Rylee says,
"It's really fun."
