Co. Springs 12-year-old makes cards, homemade meals and delivers them to homeless
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) Maryam Mohammed has loved helping people from a very young age, and now she’s truly reaching out consistently, one letter and one meal at a time. I m not expecting anything in return for it. I just do it and expect nothing back,” said the 12-year-old.
Maryam started making notes when she was seven years old to hand out to area homeless in Colorado Springs. They turned into a project that included inspirational quotes, some of them original. Right now I’m writing, clouds can be anything, like you can do anything,’ because clouds go into many shapes and can be practically anything you imagine,” said Maryam.
