Khloe Thompson is a 9-year-old who spends her after-school hours working to ensure the homeless in her community are more comfortable.<\/p>\n

Her passion took hold after she noticed the growing homeless epidemic near her home in Southern California. In Los Angeles County, homelessness has increased 23% in the past year \u2013 a population of almost 60,000. Khloe told her mother that something had to be done and came up with an idea \u2013 Khloe Kares<\/a>. It’s a project that brings essentials to homeless women in the local community.<\/p>\n

Khloe’s great-grandmother taught Khloe how to sew, a skill that she utilizes to make sturdy bags that are meant to last ‘forever’. She thoughtfully fills each tote with basic necessities \u2013 deodorant, toothpaste, socks, and feminine products \u2013 and hands them out with her parents on ‘Kare Bag Days’. If you’d like to donate supplies or volunteer on a day, check out their calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Khloe told New Sincerity that through this experience she knows she wants to dedicate her life to taking care of others. Her dream is to open a sustainable community center where the homeless both live and work.<\/p>\n

“I like to inspire other kids because I’m a kid and I’m making a difference. Other kids can look at me and know that they too can change the world,” Khloe told New Sincerity.<\/p>\n
