Julie Foret, 10, says she really likes to play outside with her neighbor and bake, which is evident from the pink long-sleeve T-shirt she’s wearing that reads, “Bake the world a better place.”
Julie’s mother, Elizabeth Scott, said her daughter is always considering the needs of others. She gave an example of when Julie saw someone on the street who looked down on their luck. She said her daughter wondered if there was anything she could do to make the person’s life easier.
“She’s a pretty selfless 10-year-old,” Scott said.
Julie recently donated a large portion of her Christmas money to Ridge View Elementary School to help pay off students’ lunch debts.
The donation to her former elementary school was $80 of a $100 Christmas gift from her grandfather who told her to spend the money on whatever she wanted. The other $20, she said, she spent on gifts for her younger siblings.
Scott said when Julie received the money, she told her mother, “Mom, I don’t really want to spend this on myself.”
