That s just who she is, said Lisa Hoffman, Madeline s mom.
Since 2014, Madeline has been creating and organizing service projects. At age ten, she founded a charity that distributes hand-sewn bags for those who rely on walkers and wheelchairs. She s also organized drives to benefit children s hospitals and the homeless. Just seeing how happy the people are, a lot of people aren t expecting it, it s nice to see the look of thankfulness and gratitude, Madeline said.
The Hoffman family is filled with endless gratitude, after Madeline suffered an unexpected health emergency in September. Madeline was hanging around the track at Pennridge High School before band practice when she collapsed out of nowhere.
