12-Year Old Plays With Heart

14,083 views

Aiden Hornaday was 8 years old when he picked up his brother's dusty harmonica with no idea of how to play it. The next day, waiting for his mother at a restaurant, he took off his cap and started playing, and got 80 unexpected dollars in tips "just for taking his hat off." That night, he decided to donate the $80 to fight intestinal parasites for African orphans, and the seeds of Aiden Cares was born. Now 12, Aiden has raised over $60,000 in 4 years. Aiden believes that everyone has something to give. "It's one of the greatest rewarding things ever; and you get more from it when you help. Blessings just come - it's amazing."

Wow what an amazing young man what inspires me is the selflessness of Aidan, if only more people could be as helpful and giving as he. Yes I do have a cause that I'm passionate about and give what I can.
