Youth Changemaker Stevie Nelson Helps Animals

I recently found out about the passionate and industrious young Stevie Nelson when his mom wrote us to share his story.

The loss of his dogs and an ASPCA PSA sparked Stevie to want to help his animals through his local humane society. For his 6th birthday (you read that right), Stevie helped raised more than $25,000 (along with more than $6,000 in donated goods) for the Northeast Nebraska Humane Society.

Stevie is the 2011 ASPCA Kid of the Year. You can see more about his story here:



Now Stevie has big plans to help animal shelters all over the U.S. For more about Stevie's plans, check out his website here.

I love sharing stories like this, because it's important for us to remember that all of us -- no matter our age -- have the power to create positive change for people, animals, and the earth.
