| Abby Enck with all her donations! |
Do you remember the adorable and inspiring Abby Enck? Last summer we shared her story after she sold lemonade kits to buy more than 1,000 boxes of crayons for children at Advocate Lutheran General Children's Hospital in Park Ridge.
This summer, the 9-year-old decided to do even more for the kids at the hospital. She made and sold popcorn kits so she could bring them "Movie Days".

Abby originally decided to start helping the hospital because that's where her younger brother, Cameron, goes for treatment. He suffered brain damage as a result of a meningitis infection when he was just one week old.
This year, Abby's popcorn kits raised nearly $1,000 dollars and she used the money to buy DVD's, popcorn and candy. She brought it all to the hospital on Friday for the first big movie day. The 9-year-old even sewed a pillow case to give away as a prize to one of the patients!

All leftover money is being donated to the hospital's Child Life Program, which assists patients and their families.
Abby plans to keep holding these fundraisers every summer because she loves being able to make the doctors, patients and their families smile! Way to go, Abby!!
