At the age of 10, Talia Leman collected donations for Hurricane Katrina survivors, through Halloween trick-or-treat, dressed as a Quarter. She wanted to help and she wanted to let the survivors of Katrina know, “You’ve got a friend in me”. She joined hands with UNICEF in an effort to raise funds and was named the UNICEF National Youth Ambassador for 2005. This newscast, aired years ago, rings true even to this day as Talia continues her efforts to help others through her website RandomKid.org, designed and developed by Flying Cow Design.
