Hannah Taylor – The LadyBug Foundation and Passion for the Homeless
When Hannah Taylor was 5, she saw a person on the street eat out of a garbage can. The sight made her sad and angry, but it also did something else – it inspired in her a passion to help people like the one she saw.
Hannah began by learning all she could about poverty and homelessness. What she learned made her want to help make sure that nobody would have to eat out of a garbage can or sleep on the street. At age 8, she decided she wanted to do something big to help the homeless. With her parents help, Hannah created The Ladybug Foundation, a non-profit group that helps poor and homeless people all over Canada!
Hannah is now 18 years old and the Ladybug Foundation is going strong! These videos tell the amazing story of Hannah and The Ladybug Foundation.
