<div>Hi everyone!!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I'm Mari, I'm a 18-year-old kid from Flint, MI. I am known globally as "Little Miss Flint". While I known nationally for my work as a clean water advocate a big part of my work is giving back to the kids right here in Flint, Michigan.

</div>

<div>This year marks my 10th year doing my annual back-to-school drive and backpack giveaway. In my very first year, my goal was 50 backpacks and I was able to 100. In my second year, we did 1,000 backpacks. My third year we did a backpack for every single child in the city of Flint. To date, we have been able to distribute 21,000 fully stuffed backpacks.

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In addition to backpacks and supplies, we have been able to distribute hygiene kits, books, socks, underwear, sneakers, school uniforms, clothing, and so much more. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The average cost of the school supply list from teachers from kindergarten to 12th grade is over 120 dollars, most low-income families can not afford these supplies and it puts a strain on the kid's teachers to try to fill the gap. We want to make sure kids are equipped with everything they need to have a successful school year.
