Girl ( 6-year-old  ) Feed the homeless

  Instead of my birthday celebration



 -----------------------

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."

-------------------------------------------

So the Chicago family spent about $300 buying food to deliver to homeless people in the city's East Garfield Park neighborhood. They purchased chicken, fish, spaghetti, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls, cake, cookies, fruit and water.



After Armani mentioned her plan at the family's local church, congregation members donated other items to create care packages for the homeless.



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

Her mother, Artesha, told ABC News that she and her husband, Antoine, initially thought she was joking but found out how serious she was when they said she wouldn’t be able to get her a gift if they went through with her plans.

They said Armani had asked that the homeless were given the same thing she’d have at a party so they spent $300 (£245) on chicken, fish, spaghetti, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls, cake, cookies, fruit and water.
