Helping Lisa

A group of fifteen-years-olds at are holding a charity sale to raise money to help their classmate Lisa. Lisa had cerebral Palsy when she was a baby. People who have cerebral palsy have trouble speaking or walking. Although Lisa has to use a wheelchair to help her get around, she never gives up. And she is always ready to help others.

“Lisa has the chance of standing up one day. Acturally the news is surprising for me. However, when I see my parents are worried about the cost of the operation, I am sad. I am used to my life. I don’t mind if I can’t stand up,” Lisa said. “Now my classamtes and some other kind people are helping me. I am really thankful. If I stood up one day. I would try my best to help more people.”

“While helping Lisa, we can also learn a lot. We have learned how to cook cookies and how to sell them,” Betty, one of Lisa’s classmates said. “Now we know making money is not easy, so we won’t waste money any more.”

“Alex, a boy in Lisa’s class, told a reporter that they could raise about $100 every day. “We have raised about $2,100 so far. We hope we will raise more money for Lisa’s operation,” said he.
