Raegan started helping Tornado victims back in April 2011 after seeing the damage on national news. She was 6 years old at the time. She started making bracelets and offering them for a free will donation. Raegan raised $450.00 for Alabama.
As she watched the news, Joplin Missouri was struck and she spotted Don and Helen Capps, an elderly couple in their 80's who were now living in a shelter. She wanted to sponsor the couple. With the help of the Red Cross contact was made. Raegan raised over $1,600 for the veteran and his wife. She also provided the couple with a Christmas tree and Thanksgiving meal. We drove Rae the 8 hours to surprise the couple and hand deliver the money she raised.
While in Joplin Rae volunteered with Americorp making cards for the victims and brought supplies from Iowa. Raegan provided school supplies and Christmas gifts to the children of Joplin. She also provided 15 $20.00 gift cards for the seniors Thanksgiving dinner. She was one of five finalists and only child for the Weather Channels Epic Christmas award. She did get viewers favorite and received $5,000 for charity. She was able to start The Raegan Junge Scholarship Fund in her School thus giving back to her own small community who have supported her and her efforts in helping others. She received A Good Deed Award from the American Legion in which she has been a member of since age 4.
Raegan is just a amazing child and inspires everyone that knows her or reads about her. She is still beading bracelets and is very loyal in her mission in helping others.

Hello, I'm a teacher at Crossroads Elementary School in Santa Monica, California. Our 2nd grade class is doing a project on kids who are making a difference and would like to know if you (the kid hero or parent of the kid hero) would be willing to participate by simply responding to questions that our students have about you. These questions would be sent to you from my email address. The questions (less than 5) will not take long to answer. If you are open to that please email me at jwatt@xrds.org so that we have an email address that will be checked regularly. Our project will begin the week of Feb 4th, 2013 and we'd like all of our students to get a response by Feb 7th, 2013. If you are willing to help us with this quick turnaround time, our students will be thrilled!
Since our students are randomly drawing names from those who indicate that they are willing to participate, we may or may not contact you for this project but will keep your information for future projects.
Thank you for considering this!
