A big-hearted little girl has raised thousands of dollars for kids just like her with her homemade cards for mums.
Three-year-old Aubrey Castro, from Boston in the US, was diagnosed with leukaemia last May.
Aubrey had told her parents that she wanted to be a “mummy and an artist” when she grows up.
So when she decided to help raise money for cancer research, her parents suggested she paint a card for Mother’s Day - which is celebrated in America on May 11th.
Since then, Aubrey been painting and colouring her way through chemotherapy, making beautiful greeting cards for deserving mums.
Aubrey and her proud family have sold around 1,500 cards online so far and hope to sell 2,014 by Mother's Day.
All proceeds from the cards will go straight to the the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which specialises in funding paediatric cancer research.
"Even when she was at home and on steroids, she had an easel, it was painting and coloring … that’s how the cards evolved,” Vanessa Castro, Aubrey's mum said.
Aubrey is still undergoing chemotherapy, but hopes to be finished by July 2015.
In the meantime, her mum plans on supporting her daughter at St. Baldrick's ‘Mommas Shave for the Brave’ this summer in Boston where she and 45 other mums will shave their heads.
