When Danna Bravo heard the news of the devastating earthquake that hit Ecuador, she felt very sad and decided to do something to help her compatriots. She went to her room, she saw all of her toys and thought that swapping them for water could be a great way to help. Danna is a 10-year-old Ecuadorian girl who is in sixth grade at the Cristiano de Guayaquil. When she had the idea of helping the victims of the earthquake — which leaves more than 650 dead according to figures from Ecuador's Risk Management — she thought about going from house to house asking for water, but her grandmother did not allow it. However, she was her accomplice in carrying out another of her ideas to help. “From the beginning she collected rice from the family, clothes from the (sisters), we collected stuffed animals,” says Nancy , Danna's grandmother. "She insisted and I told her let's do something: put some tables, a chair, a sign and your stuffed animals outside the premises and change them there. But we never thought that this idea was going to be so nice.
When they started, María Cristina Bravo , Danna's mother, did not know what her daughter was doing, but her grandmother had to tell her the truth America Mobile Number List when the matter became more than serious. “I had to call her mother and I told her: something is happening with your daughter,” says . "Did you take out all the stuffed animals?" the mother asked. – Yes, he took them out – the grandmother confessed. – And there was nothing left? – Nothing, not even those in the crib. – Leave it alone, mom, don't worry – her mother reassured her. On the first day alone, Danna managed to collect 38 gallons of water with about 40 stuffed animals, as she told CNN en . But on the second day it was 100 gallons, and another 100 on the third day. At the end of that first week she was able to collect 400 gallons of water to send to those most in need. A week later she continues with this mission from her grandparents' business. But Danna's intention is much bigger. “We accept rice, oil, baby milk, things that don't go bad quickly,” he says and explains that when this crisis is over he wants to continue giving his help to those who need it.
We can give the money [that we collect by selling toys] to our parents to support or we can also give that money to children who have cancer or who are orphans… to poor people.” Their mission has had such an impact that some people from their community have joined this cause. Not only have several children and neighbors in the area donated their toys, but also a bakery offered to send food to and the owner of a truck said that his vehicle was available to transport humanitarian aid, according to Danna. "We can all help others and be supportive from whatever age we can," says the little girl. “You can imagine how we have come together in such a small thing. I know there are much bigger forces,” says Nancy , the grandmother. “I want to make all the children come here to help me with stuffed animals to give to children who have cancer or to the poor,” adds the girl and says that she is “really happy” to be able to help those who need it. “She touched everyone's heart. All people in the world have a noble heart but with daily work we sometimes make that door close. What she has done is ring the doorbell, nothing more,” adds Danna's grandmother.
