Carmel Valley 12-year-old Talia Mackin recently donated $2,082 to Susan G. Komen San Diego from the proceeds of sales of her homemade mask chains, turning a creative outlet into something that can make a positive impact for women battling breast cancer.
Talia, a sixth grader at La Jolla Country Day, has always been crafty, coming up with projects using stuff around the house and a hot glue gun. During the summer months of the pandemic she was looking for something to occupy her free time and started making jewelry.
