Logan Lin of Virginia made a post on her mom’s Facebook account, asking people to just donate however much they thought they could. She set a goal of $2,000. And she reached it. After raising the $2,000, Lin found a link on the website for Inova Children’s Hospital in Fairfax County that took her to an Amazon wish list.
Logan Lin raised $2,000 to buy gifts for kids at Inova Children’s Hospital in Fairfax County
Lin said, "I ordered entertainment and toys and arts and crafts for them all to be delivered to them by the holiday so they can have like Christmas presents or Hanukkah presents. It felt really good, just knowing that I could give back during the holidays and knowing that there were kids who they would get to have some fun and not have to be stuck in a room all day long."
As per patch.com, "Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Lin was not able to visit the kids who got her presents or see them open them. Lin added that it’s not hard to give back. Lin plans to do more donations in the future, including for an animal charity. “I’m just really grateful. And I think it’s a good thing to let other people know how easy it is to give back to the community."
