Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

This young girl hails from Pearland, Texas but she might as well be working at the North Pole. Summer Linn is an eight-year-old with a big dream. She wants to make sure that all of the foster children of the world have the merriest Christmas possible.

There are not a lot of kids who would dare to dream this big and she is more than willing to put in the hard work to make that happen.

Instead of asking her parents to handle this problem on her behalf, she is using her very own elbow grease. Summer knows that there are multitudes of children who do not get the chance to feel loved and wanted during this time of year. She’s wise beyond her years and a hard worker to boot.

Wait until you see how she is funding this impossible dream. This amazing little girl is baking and selling cupcakes to buy Christmas gifts for foster kids.

She knows that Santa struggles to find all of these children and she wants to make sure that they are able to receive presents anyway. This is the type of selflessness that is sure to bring a tear to the eye of parents everywhere.

“He’s very busy,” she says in the interview below. She went on to say, “They get moved a lot. They’re special no matter what anyone says or does. Seriously. They deserve a good Christmas. They need a good home.” Can you believe that she has already managed to adopt 13 foster children that she will be buying gifts for? She is not wasting any time getting started.
