11-year-old raises $4,333 for Haiti

Elizabeth Nisly

By Mary Pannabecker Steiner

Elizabeth Nisly was so touched by reports she read and saw in the days following the January 12 earthquake in Haiti that she knew she had to do something to help. But the 11-year-old Bluffton sixth grader wasn't in the position to travel to Haiti to volunteer.

So, while helping her dad wash the dishes, she asked if they could do something to raise money for the victims of the earthquake. The two narrowed their choices down to a dessert event or spaghetti dinner. The spaghetti dinner won, and Elizabeth began planning.
