14-year-old girl who was adopted helps shelter dogs in need of adoption.
Meena, a rising high school sophomore, was adopted in India 12 years ago, after spending one year in an orphanage. She and her parents then moved to San Jose, California.
"When she got there, she sat down on a sofa and all these dogs came and sat on her lap and a big smile broke out on her face," said Sherri Franklin, who founded the shelter in 2007."It was like immediate love for Muttville."Meena Kumar, 14, has raised over $14,000 for Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in California.Meena was too young to volunteer at the shelter so she came up with another way to help., with a commitment to donate all the proceeds to Muttville.
Meena also walked dogs in her neighborhood and tried other fundraising ventures, like playing the violin for donations. Over the past several years, she has donated more than $14,000 to Muttville, thanks also to a matching charity donation program with her father's company."All of our funds go to saving dogs' lives," said Franklin."Just $1,000 is able to save a couple of dogs' lives, so imagine what her donations have helped us do.
Meena said she hopes other people, young ones and seniors alike, are inspired by her story and choose to do what they love to do.
