Sarah, 37, Amelie’s mother, explained she had wanted to teach her daughter about gratitude.<\/p>\n
When she was a baby and was gifted money, her parents would choose the charity to donate a proportion to.<\/p>\n
As Amelie got older, they started to let her choose the charity or cause.<\/p>\n
“We’ve done it every year since she was a baby. We want to instil in her gratitude as when it was her birthday she’d be given lots of things,” Sarah explained.<\/p>\n
“We wanted to help make sure she’s being grateful and appreciate what she got and still be outward-looking.”<\/p>\n
In previous years, Amelie has donated to West Suffolk Hospital and charities including The Moses Project and Hands at Work in Africa.<\/p>\n
“She’s not doing it for the credit, she’s not doing it to be recognised, other people haven’t known that she does this,” Sarah added.<\/p>\n
