Description
xAward-winning teen humanitarian Ruby Kate Chitsey shares her remarkable story of becoming an activist for senior citizens through easy-to-do, youth-led charitable acts, and offers tips for how other kids can do the same. Ruby Kate Chitsey, founder and CEO of Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents, speaks to kids about the motivation behind her charity and how kids can get involved. Ruby Kate tried the types of hobbies and activities that seemed to make her classmates really happy. But she didn't like any of them. Instead, she just wanted to go with her mom to work at a local nursing home. It was there that Ruby Kate found her place in the world and her superpower . . . kindness. In Kindness Is My Hobby, Ruby Kate takes readers inside her life as an advocate for senior citizens. She tells the story of the Three Wishes Project, her flagship program that provides seniors with small gifts, and a variety of other programs that she and her team created to uplift seniors. Ruby shares an up-close perspective on the lives of residents inside long-term care facilities and brings awareness to the numerous challenges they face every day. The book also includes step-by-step instructions and resources for kids who want to start a charity for seniors in their communities, and even a few delicious recipes from some of Ruby's friends. Ruby Kate's inspirational story shows how one person can make a difference right where they are and how small acts of kindness can bring joy to those who need it most.
