Sister Jennifer Miller hugs Mia Ashbrook.

Mia Ashbrook, a first-grader at Resurrection School in Evansville, was challenged by her teacher to take part in a service project.  Each child in the class was given $5.00 and asked to see what he or she could do with that money to help others.  After talking with her parents and grandparents, Mia decided to raise money for the John and Betty Charlier Hospice Center at VNA Plus, where her great-grandfather, Charles Emmerson, had been lovingly cared for. Her mother helped her bake cookies to sell to friends and family.
