So, 7-year old Ella sat down and wrote her Aunt Melody a letter, and then mailed it along with the money. "I put $42 dollars in the envelope along with the note. I hope she will be able to get another house. I know she needs to have a house more than I needed to go to horse camp," explained Ella.
Ella's Aunt Melody says she has been moved by the way the entire region has helped those affected by the tornadoes, but she says she has been forever changed by the unselfishness of a single child. "My sister had called and said that her granddaughter and my neice, Ella wanted to send me a letter. I was over here at the house trying to pick up and trying to clean up when my sister and my mom brought the letter to me here in Salyersville. When I started reading the letter, she said she was sorry I had lost my home, but she was glad I was alive. And, I will never forget what she has done."
Congratulations, Ella Hoehner, this week's Billy Johnson Community Hero!
