Morgan Meer is only 6, but she has big ideas. Morgan and the Parkinson's Ferry Society of the Children of the American Revolution dropped off 126 Webkinz toys at Children's Hospital last week after months of soliciting friends and neighbors for donations. "She's such a sweet kid, and I'm not just saying that because she's my kid," said her mother, Susan Morgan, a chemistry teacher at Mt. Lebanon High School and municipal resident.
Ms. Morgan got the idea after hearing about "kid" philanthropy. Her 7-year-old neighbor had just suffered a stroke and she wanted to contribute something to Children's in her honor. The popular Webkinz are small, stuffed toys that come with a code that allows children to play online games at the company's Web site.
Morgan, who attends Jubilee Christian School in Mt. Lebanon, began handing out slips of paper at school and church, requesting funds to purchase the toys. She eventually collected $515, enough to buy Webkinz at a discounted price at Rolliers Hardware in Mt. Lebanon.
