        A ten-year-old girl raised over 30, 000 pounds for a children's hospice in just eight months. What she did was to play her violin to the people who passed by in the street.

        Madison Glinski from the U. K. made a New Year's resolution to help poor children last year. She planned to try and raise 500 pounds for a local children's hospice before Christmas. Every day after school, Madison played the violin in front of a coffee shop. She played so well that many people stopped to enjoy her performance. People liked her idea of helping children in need so they were willing to give her money. Since she began playing the violin in the street at Easter, she had raised a surprising 32, 520 pounds by the end of the year. She also raised money by selling her own toys.

    Madison's mother supported her daughter's idea. She said. “Madison has a musical talent. She has played the violin since the age of four. I am glad that she has used it to help others. She has a special interest for it.”

    It is not the first time for Madison to help others. A few years ago, Madison asked her parents if they could all go to Africa at Christmas to help the children there. She collected toys, shoes, school things and clothes from her friends and neighbors to take to Africa. They had a special Christmas win the children in Africa. As soon as the family returned, Madison started to plan for the next trip.

        “As long as there are homeless kids. I will never stop helping them,” Madison says.
