A 10-year-old girl from Fayette County is weaving friendship and fundraising — all in the name of helping others.
Ashlyn Brenzy goes to Hatfield Elementary School. She has dedicated time to making blue and yellow friendship bracelets for Ukrainian refugees.
Ashlyn said her mother, Sharon Brenzy, saw her making bracelets and suggested she start making them to help Ukrainian refugees.
Ashlyn put the bracelets on Facebook and the next day she had 50 orders.
With the help from her friends and family, Ashlyn has sold 425 of her bracelets as a fundraiser.
She said she's happy to make a difference during tough times.
"When we donate the money we are saving some people's lives sometimes," Ashlyn said.
Ashlyn started making the bracelets 3 days ago and has since made more than 600 bracelets for the cause.
