“What a thoughtful and awesome idea! The Pay-It-Forward Gift Cards from Little Helpers will allow families to enjoy a family outing without worrying about their budget. So many people have been impacted by COVID-19 and have had to tighten their budgets or seek additional help. These gift cards will allow them to enjoy a family activity without worry or stress. I also love the fact that Little Helpers not only thought of our shoppers but they also thought of the local Mason businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19 and discovered a way to support our shoppers at the Mason Food Pantry and to support local businesses in Mason. Little Helpers are an awesome organization with creative and innovative thinking. I am excited to see what they do next!”
Charmetra Bailey, Co-Leader – Director, Mason Food Pantry
“Thank you, Little Helpers, for your food donations to the Mason Comet Cupboard. The Mason Comet Cupboard is run by Girl Scout Troop 44405 which provides food insecure Mason City School students weekend food packs during the school year. Due to COVID, we started providing food over the summer as well. Little Helper’s donation was key to our ability to continue to provide summer food. Thank you Little Helpers!”
Casey Moran, Co-Leader – Girl Scout Troop 44405 & the Comet Cupboard
“Our charity provides Easter baskets for approximately 1000 needy children/year. Four years ago we asked the community for candy donations. We were overwhelmed by the response of The Little Helpers! They collected from their friends and neighbors; they arranged with their teachers to enable classmates to donate at school; and most selflessly, they gave up their own candy. What’s amazing is that they have donated over 400 pounds of candy in that time! We are astounded by their thoughtfulness, professionalism, civic-mindedness, and generosity! Their youth doesn’t hinder their many accomplishments, but it does make them more phenomenal. Our community is a better place with The Little Helpers in it!”
Dawn Godfrey, Founder – Baskets of l.i.f.e. (little inspirations for Easter)
“Cincinnati Children’s is thankful to have the support of Rishika and her Little Helpers organization. Her amazing project puts smiles on the faces of so many of our patients! We’re in awe of Rishika’s new goal to donate 5,000 additional toys and feel incredibly grateful that she will be continuing her generous support of our children and families.”
Sara Coyle, Donor Officer – Gift-in-Kind, Cincinnati Children’s
“Little Helpers has been a huge asset to The Mason School’s Foundation School Supply drive. Each year they collect a generous amount of the most needed school supplies, organize the supplies and deliver them to the school. It is always a pleasure to see The Little Helpers arrive in their bright yellow t-shirts, with smiles on their faces, to help pack backpacks with school supplies for other MCS students.”
Beth Wilson, Mason Schools Foundation
“As a result of some complications from being born a few months early, my daughter spent several months in and out of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital when she was a baby. It was a period of time full of stress, but I still vividly remember the staff stopping by our room every day with new toys to play with. Those toys were always a really bright part of days that were often difficult.
Mark Little
I don’t know if those toys came from Little Helpers, but I do know with absolute certainty how important they were for both my daughter all of the other families that we met. Toys may seem like such a small thing, but they are capable of bringing great joy to kids, wherever they are. Hospitals can be tough places on kids, and things like this can make all the difference in the world.
Thank you so much for everything you are doing. I hope my daughter is as bold, kind, and generous as you are when she is 13.”
“We could not love Rishika and the team from Little Helpers any more than we do. Little Helpers reached out to us to collaborate on spreading more kindness. We are not in the same state and coordinating a team effort would have been daunting, but Little Helpers put a plan in place and before we knew it Annie’s Kindness Blankets were made and ready to be delivered! They delivered these everlasting hugs to Warm Welcomed for Foster Kids, where we know they added pure sunshine to the foster children. Their dedication to spreading love and kindness inspires us and we hope to work with them again in the future.”
Barbara Buckley, Annie’s Kindness Blankets
