SALINAS, California (KSBW) — An Alisal High School teen is hard at work with family and friends, putting together care packages for several local families.
Lali Solis founded Heartfelt Healing as a way to deal with her own grief after her dad died of cancer.
The nonprofit puts together care packages for those in hospitals and is built “by teens, for teens,” according to the organization’s Instagram page.
“I know it’s a lot of late nights and sleepless nights sometimes, but it’ll ultimately make me feel good, which is what’s pushing me to do it more,” Solis said.
Solis and other volunteers will deliver the packages to Natividad Medical Center this week.
