A Torquay child has raised more than $400 for sick kids with all proceeds going towards the Good Friday Appeal.
Katie Evans said her four-year-old daughter Anna loved making jewellery and that the family wanted to help raise money for a good cause.
“Anna spends a lot of time sitting down and making bracelets and necklaces,” Ms Evans said.
“She said, ‘why don’t we sit out the front of our house and sell them mum’ and I said, ‘yeah, we could do something like that and give the money to people that need it’.
“We spoke about a few different charities and who we could give the money to, and Anna decided on The Royal Children’s Hospital.
“We thought we might do a bit bigger than just sitting outside the front of our house.”
Anna said it made her “feel good to help other people” and “liked making pink and blue bracelets”.
Ms Evans said she does not think her daughter fully understands that she raised four times more than her original goal of $100 for the Good Friday Appeal.
Ms Evans said Anna enjoyed doing the fundraiser with her family, which included brother Toby who said he was a “good helper on the day”.
“We were all there for a long time, I wondered if her attention would deviate a bit, but it didn’t,” she said.
“She (Anna) kept helping people, sitting down and showing new people what to do and how to do it.
“That night, we were going to bed, and she said, ‘can we do it all over again tomorrow, Mum, that was so much fun’.”
