Is this a great story about a selfless 16 year old or what?
Too bad more people can't be this mature, eh?
Sweet 16 Party Without Gifts, Donations Instead
MARLTON, N.J. (CBS 3) ―
Meg Snowdon does not turn 16 until November, but like most teens with winter birthdays, she wants to have a summer party.
Different from most teens though, Meg does not want any gifts.
Instead, she is asking friends and family to bring donations for 8-year-old Emily Mangione, who Meg met for the first time Wednesday.
Emmie was 14 months old when Kim Mangione of Marlton adopted her from South Korea. Emily suffers from a disease that affects her heart, lungs and immune system.By the time she was two-years-old, Emmie had already suffered cardiac arrest and several strokes, which caused brain damage.
Meg first learned about Emmie through a friend, and wanted to help in any way she could. Her birthday party seemed like the best way to help Emmie's family pay for her health care.
Even with insurance, there are a lot of therapies, medical bills and equipment not cover
"People have been inviting themselves saying can we come to bring money, just stop by. It's been a really big response," Meg said.
Anyone wishing to help Emmie's cause can send donations to:
Emmie Fund
c/o Commerce Bank
225 Greentree Road
Marlton, N.J. 08053

That is absolutely wonderful. This young lady is so selfless to not only be charitable and kind to the ailing, but to do so on her birthday. If more people acted with such grace as this young girl does, the world would be a much kinder place. What a great and moving story, that all should hear about.

Damn, that's nice. We need more like this instead of people having to prove that they are "iller and realer" and can scratch round vinyl plates. Thanks for that article.
