Olivia Gwitt just turned twelve. What did she want for her birthday?  She wanted friends and family to donate to charity.

I know. Adorable!!

She is one generous little girl.

The little sweetie recently raised $350 for Kaely’s Kindness–  a wonderful organization that helps teens with cancer with their unique emotional, physical and practical needs.

Kaely Kwitek – who started Kaely’s Kindness can’t say enough about this special young girl,  “I wish everyone could meet Olivia. She walked by the Kaely’s Kindness space and knew she wanted to help. She collected cans and bottles and asked for donations at her birthday to help us. Olivia this world needs a lot more people with a heart like yours.”

We couldn’t agree more.

Olivia has been doing donation birthdays for four years now. Why does she do it? Here’s what her mom, Christine told me, “She said she does it because we all need to take care of others & that she has so much already…not everyone is as lucky as she is! People need to know that even strangers care about them.”

This little girl can teach others an awful lot about giving, “Olivia is very kind and likes to look out for the ones left out.”

Olivia is more than just a good citizen, she’s also a gymnast at Gymnastics Unlimited and an honor student at Frontier Middle.

Way to go, Olivia!  We are so happy to be celebrating your giving spirit!!

My name is Mary Friona-Celani and I am the creator of this site! I’m a wife, a mom, a grandma, a Buffalo booster, an entrepreneur and a small business owner. I’m so glad you stopped by.  After 20 years in the buffalo media, I went out on my own to tell stories about the people, places, events and all-around fabulousness of this wonderful place we call home. Buffalo is different and so is this site. We are here to share stories, encourage kindness, and help make this a better place to live.

We’ll help those in need when we can through our charity arm, Totally Buffalo Cares.

We help local small businesses, artisans and vendors though our events and our Totally Buffalo Stores.

We’ll do all of this with a little help from friends in our community.
