When Angel Arellano heard that the Fresno, California Zoo was in danger of losing its accreditation and many of its animals, she wrote to her local paper, the Fresno Bee: "I am very worried for the animals. They deserve to have a home and be safe and warm. I think that if everybody in Fresno gave $1.00 to the Chaffee Zoo it would help a lot. Here's my dollar." Since Angel's letter appeared in the paper, the zoo has recieved more than half a million dollars in cash donations. Her letter rallied school children, businesses, and community organization to send money to the zoo. Now the zoo and the animals have a secure future. See what one kid can do!
