We went to the dollar store and bought a lot of little gifts and did the hospital visit too.
We also stopped by the family surgery waiting room and passed out cards, games for the younger children who had to wait for relatives in surgery, puzzles, etc. We left it in the waiting room for other families to help pass the time.
What does she need a dose of reality in....if it is in taking things for granted.........visit homeless shelters and donate items that are unused.
Work in a soup kitchen.pass out soup and sandwiches on a Saturday afternoon.
In our city we had a group of women set up a cardboard table. They made hot dogs, brought chips, and punch and handed them out to the homeless of the community....
Take flowers to a nursing home. Many blind people enjoy the smell of flowers.
Put bird feeders up outside their windows so they have something to watch.
Offer to help out an elderly neighbor.

Volunteering at the local animal shelter. A 10 year old can walk smaller dogs, spend time with them, or help with other things like fundraisers. When I was young, my local shelter sold calendars every years, so I helped with that. It was a very rewarding experience. It taught me patience, kindness, and understanding towards those that are helpless. Good luck

My kids do it because they love helping other people.
But my daughter collects the POP TOPS of the cans and send them to the Ronald McDonald House. She also cleans out her room every so often and packs up her toys that she doesnt want anymore and donates them to a fmaily in need. Both of my kids also have a basket that whatever clothes doesnt fit them or they absolutly don't want anymore, they put it in the basket and when it is full we donate them.
