On Saturday, Sept. 27, Salma, 10, and Sami Saout, 7, and Selina, 10, and Jwana Al-Shihabi, 8 — all students at Churchill Road School — held a benefit at Kings Manor Park, selling lemonade, brownies and dog and cat treats to benefit the rescue kittens looking for homes through Mehr Flowers. On Sunday, they made their surprise donation of $107.50 they collected.
Mehr's Flower Farm wants to thank the children and their parents who have helped over the years to socialize kittens brought from rural Virginia, demonstrating their compassion for homeless animals. They also want to thank as those who have donated to this cause and to families that have taken under their wing, provided shots, spayed or neutered, and gave a home to a kitten or two.
