North Texas Girl's 8th Birthday Wish: Animal Shelter Donations

NBCUniversal, Inc.

Jody Lynn Ford wanted one thing for her eighth birthday. She wanted to help the animals at the Burleson Animal Shelter.

โ€œMy daughter decided to request donations for the Burleson Animal Shelter instead of gifts,โ€ Jennifer Upton Ford said. โ€œHer friends and family were gracious, and she was able to bring the shelter a range of items including toys, Kongโ€™s, blankets, treats, collars, peanut butter, bleach, dryer sheets, paper towels and even a $50 donation.โ€

Ford said her daughter hoped her donation would be two-fold.

โ€œShe has a lot of great things to bring the animals this week and I just wanted to share because it would be great if this inspired other kids to do something like this as well,โ€ she said.
