Hannah's Story 

 

 

The Ladybug Foundation has already raised over a million dollars to help
the homeless. It all began when Hannah Taylor was just 5.

This engaging documentary gives new meaning to the term 'role model.'
Normally we think of children learning from their elders, but here is
the story of an 11-year-old girl who is already inspiring adults to make
a difference. 

When she was just 5, Hannah Taylor spotted her first homeless person in
the back alleys of Winnipeg. That momentous sighting not only troubled
her but it drove her to do nothing less than change the world, leading
to the establishment of the impressive Ladybug Foundation. Under
Hannah's leadership, that charity has raised over a million dollars,
literally making change for those lacking life's basic needs. 

As this absorbing documentary shows, Hannah insists on being seen as
normal, but clearly she possesses an extraordinary can-do attitude. Her
message is disarmingly straightforward, coming as it does from "little
kid type theories": "share a little of what you have and always care
about others." Whether it's organizing "Big Boss" lunches, speaking to
students or to a prime minister, Hannah's capacity to help others is
huge, unflagging, and, ultimately, humbling. We all have a lot to learn
from Hannah's Story.
