This is an impressive young person.
When 12-year-old Leah recently made her Confirmation, the first thing she thought to do was to send some of the money she got to Down Syndrome Ireland.
Along with this letter:
She writes:
Hello. I would like to say that I think your charity is amazing! My name is Leah and I am 12-years-old. It was my Confirmation recently and I wanted to give some of my money to Down Syndrome Ireland. The reason is in my school we do shared reading and there is a little boy called James who I was partnered with. He is an amazing little guy and he loves to hear the Mr. Men stories. He is a little messer sometimes and he jokes and has a laugh with us. He is 5 and in Junior Infants. I thought instead of giving money to other charities, I decided on this one because of Little James. I think what all of you do is brilliant. So on behalf of me and James, THANK YOU! From, Leah.
Cathy Gray from Down Syndrome Ireland got in touch with JOE today and would like to pass her gratitude on to Leah.
“We are so grateful to be able to share this lovely message from one of our younger donors,” she said.
“All of us in Down Syndrome Ireland would like to thank Leah for her donation and for brightening our week with her heart-warming words.”
