Hailey upon successfully being able to donate 128 pounds worth of fresh fruit and vegetables to the poor, kicked off building little homes for them. The little humanitarian was able to achieve this with help from her mother.

She occasionally documents her activities on her Facebook page Hailey's Harvest and has been inspiring people to do good.
