Q: Why is this project important to you?
I want the children in the hospital on Christmas to be happy with a smile on their faces spending time with family. I don't want the kids to be scared because they're in the hospital. I want them to feel safe and loved.
Q: What do you do for fun?
I like to play video games, watch movies, read books, play with friends, and spend time with family. I also play football and basketball.
Q: Where is your favorite place to eat in the Dayton area?

Q: Why do you think it is important for kids to give back?
It is important because we need to help our communities, the environment, and always be kind and friendly to everyone we meet.
