On any given day,you can find most 10-year-old boys throwing a ball around outside,riding bikes or playing video games.But Braden Baker is different.
Braden is a hearing damaged 5th-grader and has to wear hearing aids(助听器).Unluckily,Braden's dog Chewy found his hearing aids on the floor and destroyed them—not once but twice and they had to be replaced.But at $ 3,500 to$ 6,000 a pair,Braden's carelessness was costly.
Braden's mother Ashley sat Braden down and had a long talk about taking better care of his hearing aids,explaining how much they cost.“I told him that he was lucky to get another pair and that some people couldn't afford a new pair,” Ashley said.
Those words stuck in Braden's mind,who realised not every child who needed hearing aids could afford them.Recently the 10-year-old boy decided to start a GoFundMe page to raise money for those who aren't so lucky.
Braden made a video to explain why he wanted to raise money.Ashley said,“We weren't sure how it would turn out.He began with a goal of $ 1,000.We woke up the next morning and found it had raised $ 400.”
This encouraged him to start making more videos.Fast-forward a few months and Braden's GoFundMe page has raised over $ 15,000,which Braden donated to the Oticon Hearing Foundation.That money will be used to help other families buy hearing aids for their children.
The project has not only taught Braden the value of money,but according to his mom,“he's learned that if you put a small idea into action,amazing things can happen.”
Braden's advice to those looking for ways to give back to others is “Don't give up! Any small idea can get really big”.
