Courtney Foster, the unforgettable young woman who began to do works of charity at age four, is now a lawyer. She began fund-raising at a tender age when upon hearing about a young child with cancer of the eyes who could not afford treatment, went to her neighbours and family friends to get money to help. That resulted in a cheque presentation to the child's parents.

Foster has since then raised thousands of dollars for the less fortunate and no doubt, will continue her philanthropic pursuits.
