21.Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks.Her mother,Amanda Chitsey,works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas,and Ruby Kate often goes with her in the summer. "I've never found them scary at all,so I'm able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything," she says. Last May,Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window.She seemed sad. "What are you looking at?" Ruby Kate asked.Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit.Pearl didn't know when she would see her dog again. Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that the nursing home didn't allow residents to have dogs and Pearl couldn't afford to pay anyone to look after hers.The Chitseys also learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries.So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it. She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. "That's a lot simpler than going,'Hey,what do you want?'" she explains. "They can understand you better." Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn't be able to provide.Instead,they asked for chocolate bars,McDonald's fries,pants that fit properly,and even just a prayer. "It broke me as a human," Amanda says. "We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could." Using their own money,the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months. Then they started asking for donations,set up a GoFundMe page,Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents,and raised more than ﹩250,000 in five months.One of their new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state. Ruby Kate doesn't plan to stop there. "I consider kindness to be my hobby," she says, "and I'm very good at it."
