Ashlee Smith started her nonprofit organization, Ashlee’s Toy Closet, when she was 8 years old, after she lost her house to the Angora Fire in 2007. Now, at age 22, she’s still giving out toys, this time to children affected by the Caldor Fire in the town of Grizzly Flats, California.
Smith participated in a relief effort for fire victims on Sept. 26.
