Toys by the truckload: Ashley helps kids in need

When you’re li le, toys are a big deal. Ashlee Smith, a 13-year-old from Reno, Nevada, understands this – that’s why she
started Ashlee’s Toy Closet, an organiza on that collects toys and donates them to kids who have been affected by natural
disasters, house fires or tough economic mes. Ashlee knows from experience what it’s like to lose a favorite toy. When she was
just five years old, her family’s home burned down and she lost all of her possessions, including her fave stuffed animal.

When a large fire hit South Lake Tahoe, California, in 2007, she saw the devasta on and wanted to help the kids affected. “I
basically knew how they felt because they didn’t have any toys and neither did I [a er our house fire],” Ashlee explains. She held
a toy drive that was a huge success. She collected a semi-truck trailer full of toys for kids in need!

Since then, Ashlee’s Toy Closet has given out more than 175,000 toys. More than that, Ashlee has seen how her service has a
posi ve effect on the kids she helps. She tells the story of her first drive. There was a li le girl who was really shy and wouldn’t
talk to anyone. Ashlee asked the li le girl if she liked Strawberry Shortcake, because that’s what Ashlee liked when she was
five. The girl said yes, so Ashlee grabbed a $5 Target Strawberry Shortcake puzzle for her, not thinking it would be a big
deal. But it was. The toy was actually the exact same as one she had lost, and had been one of her favorite toys. “She spoke to
me for the rest of the day,” Ashlee says.

At 13, Ashlee’s already accomplished so much. For the work she’s done with Ashlee’s Toy Closet, she was named a Na onal
Honoree at the Pruden al Spirit of Community awards, a yearly program that recognizes middle level and high school students
for outstanding community service. Being recognized as a Na onal Honoree makes her one of America’s Top 10 Youth
Volunteers for 2012. But Ashlee wants to keep going and do even more. She hopes to take her organiza on na onwide, or
even help kids in Africa.

No ma er what, Ashlee knows that any act of kindness, big or small, counts. “You don’t really have to make a huge impact to
help somebody. Anybody can do it,” she says. What’s her advice for other girls who want to lend a hand? Find a cause you’re
passionate about. She explains, “You just have to have a mo ve. You have to have a reason behind your organiza on of why you
want to do it.”

Have you heard about Lima2019 or Panam American Games? Did you know that due to the work of volunteers who help by their own
ini a ve, this huge event was developed with high success? Perhaps most of you don't know, but volunteering is a way to help others
or to cooperate with the community with will such as the Nursing Homes. But, many people do it just to complete a requirement for
school or university. So, I think volunteering shouldn’t be mandatory because it damages the volunteering environment, it becomes

The fact that people are being forced to do volunteering ac vi es at nursing homes can be a risk and it can damage the
volunteering environment. For example, when students are required to volunteer, they don’t feel comfortable with the me that
volunteering takes. However, volunteering by their own can make them feel generous and proud. In addi on, the word Volunteer
means that there shouldn’t be any pressure to do it, it is something that we choose to do, that way there is mo va on or reliable to
volunteering when is not mandatory.

When volunteering is mandatory, people don’t get pay and it can become stressful. For example, when volunteering is mandatory, it
isn’t volunteering, so it becomes an obliga on in society. People wouldn’t like to waste their me In nursing homes and helping elder
people, if there is no payment for their work. Even though, if people decide volunteering, it would be a decision made by their own. It
might encourage and inspire others to help, too. Besides, volunteering can teach people about helping people and developing skills in
different aspects of their lives.

To conclude, volunteering in nursing homes shouldn’t be mandatory because it limits people to have ini a ves, it makes people mad
instead of proud, it becomes ring and stressful and it is not sa sficing . to improve the volunteering environment in nursing homes ,
we shouldn’t force people to do it. Although, volunteering maybe mandatory, it is be er when it is chosen with passion by our own.
