Hannah Taylor

Have you ever heard about the child activist named Hannah Taylor?

Hannah Taylor was born in 1996 in Winnipeg, Canada. When she was 5 years old, she was pretty shocked to witness a homeless man eating out of a garbage can. After that moment, she had worried about him so much and asked her mom whether she could do something to help him.

The next day she went to the school and asked the teacher if she could speak to the class about the homelessness. After that, the class had some successful art and bake sales to raise money and donate it to a local homeless center.

In my opinion, with her innocent mind, she saw the world is very unfair because she thought that everyone has their own rights to have their own homes to be safe and protected. She also thought that the homeless people are just normal like us and should be treated like family.

In this regard, only at the age of 8, Hannah had founded ‘The Ladybug Foundation’ to help homeless people with her own mission “teaching people that people who are homeless are just like you and me and they just need us to love them and care for them.” Because she wanted the Ladybug Foundation to be really helpful and lucky for the homeless people across the country, so she chose the name ladybug, because ladybugs represent good luck in her country.

According to the foundation’s website, over 3 million dollars has been raised to assist projects across Canada providing shelter, food and safety for homeless people.

I think Hannah Taylor is a very brave and smart young lady who has a beautiful mind and warm heart. And, she has already spoken to the public more than 175 times to tell people about the basic rights of the homeless.  Like Hannah Taylor, we might love helping others. But, frankly speaking, we don’t have enough courage to help others in real life like she has done for the homeless.
