Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate Chitsey loves asking the question
"If you could have any three things, what would you want?" at nursing
homes in Harrison. Even more amazing, she then sets out to make the residents
who live in the nursing home realize their dreams.
Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring
out a window. She seemed sad. "What are you looking at?" Ruby Kate
asked. Pearl said her dog was led away by his new owner because she couldn't
afford to raise it. Ruby Kate and her mother, Amanda, asked around and
discovered that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the
smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.
She started by asking residents what three things they
wanted most in the world. Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and
other things an 11-year-old wouldn't be able to provide. Instead, they asked
for chocolate bars, McDonald fries, pants that ft properly and even just
prayer. Using heir own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100
people in three months. Then they started asking for donations.
The good people of Harrison responded enthusiastically, so
much so hat Amanda set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents,
hoping to collect %5,000. They hit their goal in a month. After GoFundMe named
Ruby Kate a Kid Hero and promoted her story internationally this past January,
Three Wishes raised $20,000 in 24 hours and more than $250,000 in five months.
Earlier this year, Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents became
a nonprofit and launched its first nationwide chapters. Ruby Kate doesn't plan
to stop there. "I consider kindness to be my hobby," she says, "and
I'm very good at it."
