Little Girl Selling Mother's Day Cards to Raise Money for Cancer Research

While going through chemotherapy 3-year-old Aubrey Castro has been painting and coloring Mother's Day cards to raise money for pediatric cancer research, so that she can help kids who are battling cancer just like her.

After Aubrey's family discovered that the government only allocates 3.8 percent of funding to pediatric cancer research, they decided to raise money on their own by making Mother's Day cards. The family has sold 1,500 cards and for Mother's Day their goal is to sell 2,014 cards. Even if they do not meet their goal Mother's Day they plan to continue selling holiday cards all year round for $5 on St. Baldrick's Foundation's website and Etsy store, which is managed by a friend of the family's.

Even when Aubrey was on steroids sick at home she painted. She is still undergoing chemotherapy and hopes to be done by July 2015.

Vanessa Castro, Aubrey's mom plans to take part in St. Baldrick's "Mommas Shave for the Brave" were mothers of children fighting cancer will shave their heads to show their love and support for their brave fighters. Their are 46 mothers in total taking part in this event and according to St. Baldrick's Foundation that is to represent the 46 children in the U.S. each weekday.

Aubrey loves to make these cards because she knows that they are going to a good cause. She even takes part in assembling them with her mom. Aubrey has worked hard making these cards and it is not like she made ten or fifteen cards. No, she has made thousands and the least we can do is help her reach her goal by donating $5.

Buy your mom something that will help children like Aubrey in the fight against cancer.
