Her mother thought she was joking when 6-year-old Armani Crews said she wanted to spend her birthday feeding the homeless rather than have a party. She told ABC News

“I said, ‘OK, we’ll make some sandwiches,'”

Her Daughter apparently replied:

“‘No. I want the same thing we’d have at my birthday party,'”

Her father told her that it would mean she didn’t get a gift but Armani stayed resolute! So the family said, ok! They put together about $300 worth of food and it got even bigger when Armani told people at church and more donations for the care packages came in!

ABC reported (src):

Each care package included a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, hand sanitizer and a snack, such as a granola bar.

Armani’s birthday party was a success, with the family feeding more than 125 people who gathered.

In a statement, the kindergarten student told ABC News, “It was nice to be nice.

Her mother added, “She was excited. She was happy. Everybody was being fed. …One of the gentleman said he hadn’t had a hot meal in a long time.

Now the 6-year-old wants to host another community meal for the homeless. Her mother said the family plans to return to the park “within the next couple of weeks.

How awesome and inspiring is this young lady!
