Central New York 11-Year-Old Starts Fundraiser to Help Friend With Cancer

Sometimes the biggest hearts come in the smallest packages, and a Central New York girl is proving that in the sweetest way possible.

Eleven-year-old Kathryn, the young entrepreneur behind Kathryn’s Kitchen, has turned her love of baking into a mission to help a friend who is currently battling cancer.

Fundraiser Raises Over $600 in Less Than One Week

After learning about her friend’s diagnosis, Kathryn knew she wanted to do something.

Kathryn started selling baked goods through her Facebook page and organized a raffle, with every dollar raised going directly toward helping cover her friend’s cancer treatment expenses.

Not bad for an 11-year-old running a one-girl operation.
