A Chicago six-year-old girl's decision to feed the homeless instead of receiving presents on her birthday is touching the hearts of many not only in the area, but also across the country.
Armani Crews had been begging her parents for a few months to feed homeless people in her community.
"I said, 'OK, we'll make some sandwiches, ' to which Armani said, 'No. I want the same thing we'd have at my birthday party, '" her mother recalled.
Even when her father, Antoine, told her that if she wanted to go through with this, she wouldn't get a birthday gift, the girl, whose birthday was March 5, wouldn't give in.
So the Chicago family spent about $300 buying food to send to homeless people in the city's East Garfield Park neighborhood. They bought chicken, fish, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls, cake, cookies, fruit and water.
After Armani mentioned her plan at the family's local church, the church members donated (捐赠) other items to create care packages for the homeless.
Armani's birthday party was a success, with the family feeding more than 125 people who gathered.
In a statement, the six-year-old girl told ABC News, "It was nice to be nice." Her mother added, "She was excited and happy. Everybody was being fed. One gentleman said he hadn't had a hot meal in a long time."
