One little wish can lead to big dreams and Temara knows this.  She raises money for a host of organizations, including cancer awareness, leukemia, MS and to gather and distribute blankets for those in the hospital.



Fort Collins, CO


Age 10


 


Little Wishes Big Dreams is what keeps Temara Ellinger and her friends busy. Temara started the club after visiting her grandfather in the hospital. She wished she could give him a blanket for comfort before he died.  

So, in an effort to help others, she organizes lemonade stands, sells candy bars and raises money for supplies to make blankets. 

These blankets go to children through hospitals, police and fire stations.

Ellinger also helps her community by collecting school supplies and raising money for cancer, leukemia, MS, the Fort Collins Cat Rescue, Larimer Humane Society and a host of other organizations.
