Her mother always told her that she should start off her birthday, by helping someone who needs it more.<\/p>\n
So, Robyn Smith from Denlee celebrated her 22nd birthday on December 19 last year, by donating dog food to the Germiston SPCA.<\/p>
The beautiful young woman donated a total of 16 25kg bags of dog food, in order to help the SPCA feed the animals over the festive period.<\/p>\n
She raised the money by making bracelets and selling these to friends and family, in the Germiston area.<\/p>
\u201cI was lucky that two of my friends, Tanya-Leigh Cox and Cindy Treges, donated beads to me to make the bracelets – so I had no overhead costs and all the money raised from the bracelets, could go directly to buying dog food,\u201d Robyn said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn total, I managed to raise R3 000.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was overwhelmed by the support I received for my initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n
This isn’t the first time Robyn has helped others on her birthday.<\/p>\n
She made party packs which were distributed to children in a township, the previous year; and she plans to continue this helping tradition on an annual basis.<\/p>\n
