Phoebe's Story Challenge in aid of the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 14:50, 3rd Jul, 2017 | 0

The GSPCA are hugely grateful to Phoebe who has decided to raise funds to help the many animals at the GSPCA.

Phoebe will be writing lots of stories to raise money for GSPCA because she loves animals and really wants to help them.

Phoebe said "My name is Phoebe Copperwaite and I am 7 years old."

"Three of the things I love the most are reading, writing and animals."

"I spend hours at home writing stories and keep asking Mummy and Daddy to get them published so that I can sell them and use the money raised to help animals in need."
