A young Drumheller girl is using her talents and generosity to help those in need during Christmas time.
The Mail reported in December of 2020 Skye Fabick turned her COVID-cancelled birthday party disappointment into a gift to the community.
Her mother, Melanie, has a home baking business, and they turned her birthday celebration into a bake sale. Skye spent hours in the kitchen making Christmas goodies. The sale was successful, and she was able to donate $1,100 to The Salvation Army in their time of need.
She decided to make this an annual fundraiser now, and this year was back in the kitchen mixing, measuring, and baking sweets.
On Tuesday, December 4, she was able to present $1,400 to The Salvation Army during their Christmas campaign, topping her previous year’s total by $300.
Generosity is nothing new to Skye. The year before she began her baking endeavour, she went on an “elf money” spending spree and donated the toys to The Salvation Army.
