This little girl decided to skip Disneyland and fairy tale reenactments to use her Make-A-Wish grant to become an environmental philanthropist.
After Amelia Meyer was diagnosed with brain cancer, the Missouri child said that her dream was to pick up huge amounts of trash in her Kansas City community.

Police officers, the Parks and Recreation Department, and volunteer fire fighters, all showed up to support Amelia’s clean-up effort. Kansas City’s Mayor Sly James was so impressed with the little girl’s charity, he named February 27th “Amelia Meyer’s Take Care Of The World Day”
When she arrived at the location, she was amazed at the turnout. “I thought there was just going to be some people, not this much!” Amelia told WDAF.

And the kindness doesn’t stop there, either.
The hashtag #AmeliasWish is trending all over social media of pictures and testimonials of people following Amelia’s inspiring example.
