Hi, I'm Mari. I am 18 years old and a kid from Flint, MI. The world more commonly knows me as Little Miss Flint, even though I'm not that little anymore.

Since I was 8 years old, I have hosted several events for Flint area kids, including events for Back to School, Christmas, Halloween, and Easter, on top of my ongoing book drive and other projects I do for the community. Last year we celebrated my 10th annual Christmas toy giveaway. My events focus on the kids and making sure they have not only what they need, but a ton of cool extras as well. If I dream it up, we figure out how to do it. This is something I love doing and have spent over half my life serving my community.

This year we are prepping for our 9th annual easter egg hunt and basket giveaway with the goal of 250 baskets and 20k eggs. It cost $30 to sponsor a basket for a local kid. We make all the baskets by hands in themes that I pick out. We don't do any pre-made store bought baskets because they tend to be full of cheap toys and junk and kids deserve to get toys that they can actually enjoy and platy with for more than a day or 2.
