Tinley Park Student Helps Children and Teens with Cancer

In the spirit of the season, Ella Beaudry (age 11) a student at St. George School in Tinley Park is giving to children fighting cancer. The school recently sponsored a Friend of Jesus Christmas project. Ella was given an anonymous donation of $50 and asked to give away a gift to someone in need this Christmas. Ella said, “I like helping the kids who are going through tough times. I want them to smile and get better.”

St. George School in Tinley Park holds that each child, as a child of God, has a unique potential that requires continuous development while recognizing his/her cultural diversity. Each student is encouraged to grow toward fulfillment as a total person, spiritually, socially, physically, academically and emotionally.

Ella’s help dates back to 2014 when she started donating her birthday gifts year after year for seven consecutive years.

“The Treasure Chest Foundation is especially grateful to Ella Beaudry and the anonymous donors for their donation of toys, items for teens and jewelry,” said Ms. Kisel. “It warms my heart to imagine such an awesome project that ultimately brings in gifts for kids fighting cancer.”
