DUMPING
Maiyah gets a star
THE GREATEST gift Maiyah
Martin could receive for
Christmas is to know people
in need have the necessities to
get by.
With the help of her mum
Donna and younger brother
M.J, Maiyah, 8, has been doing
her bit to fundraise for the City
Mission by selling baking at
food markets.
Her services were recognised
when she was presented with a
star by the City Mission as part
of its Walk of Stars pathway
which runs along Oxford Tce.
All of the proceeds from
her baking have gone towards
buying pamper packs full of
toiletries to donate to the City
Mission.
Maiyah’s mission is
documented on her Facebook
page, Girl With Cake Projects,
which has more than 300
Facebook likes.
The pathway displays the
names of people who have
made significant contributions
to the City Mission’s cause.
GENEROUS: Maiyah Martin

City Mission’s Walk of Stars.
