Girl buys winter essentials for people on the streets using money from a business she set up during lockdown<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A GIRL who set up her own business in lockdown is using the money she made to make care packages for homeless people this Christmas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lily Rose Sadafi, 12, from Llandaff North plans to deliver gift bags including gloves, hats, scarves, toiletries and sweet treats to the homeless on December 23 and 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During lockdown, Lily started a business selling plants to the community called \u2018Lily\u2019s Lettuce.\u2019 It was so successful that even after buying herself some gifts, she had leftover money and wanted to do something positive with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She posted on her Facebook business page asking for donations of winter essentials for homeless people and was overwhelmed with the response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel like people are really kind, I didn\u2019t know how kind people were. Because they supported me and the homeless people. I was really happy, and I was really proud of them because it\u2019s really helpful, so I didn\u2019t have to buy it all too,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t think we\u2019d have so many donations \u2013 our whole living room is full of socks and gloves!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
