PORTSMOUTH What is your 10-year-old doing for their birthday? Well, one special young lady, Abbie Charles from Portsmouth, took her birthday money and did something for the Salvation Army and the homeless.
Abbie saved up her birthday money and put together baskets that contained a blanket, a hat, gloves, socks, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, a washcloth, shampoo and hand sanitizer. In addition to those items, Abbi also added a little snack bag with things like peanut butter crackers, beef jerky, and other items that could transport well.
