Nanaimo girls raise cash for BC wildfire victims
NANAIMO — A pair of Nanaimo girls are doing their part to help B.C.’s wildfire victims.
Caylee Laskosky and Makayla Woodall raised money for Southern Interior and Cariboo region wildfire victims by selling cookies and iced tea by donation outside Fairview Elementary School Wednesday afternoon.
The nine-year-olds said they collected about $80 in three hours while overseeing a table on Howard Ave.
“I got involved with it because I slept over at her house (Makayla’s) and saw it on the news and it looked very scary,” Laskosky told NanaimoNewsNOW.
