(The following story takes place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.)
Eight year-old Ethan St. Amant decided that instead of spending his money to buy a toy or any other thing a typical child would enjoy, he would donate his money to the ASPCA organization. I found this at http://www.nbc33tv.com/news/8-year-old-gives-birthday-money-charity:
"After he saw a commercial for neglected dogs by the ASPCA, Ethan St. Amant decided to give the animal welfare group all his birthday money.
Ethan has his own webpage to keep raising money through the ASPCA.
Since his birthday last week, he's helped raise almost $500.
He said he hopes to keep raising money for neglected animals and making sure they stay safe."
I saw this young man interviewed and they asked him if he had plans for the future. His response was, "Maybe we can ask Santa to donate some money at Christmas time."
His mom responded, "I am sure he can, honey.... I am sure he can."
