10-Year-Old Girl Gives The Sweetest Gift To Her Parents’ Date Night

A 10-year-old girl has brought her mum to tears after she gave her mum an all-expenses paid date night using her hard-earned savings.

Mum Marci Ordonez, 31, from Sydney could not contain her happiness and just burst into tears after her daughter, Chelsy-Lee Ordonez De Cross, emerged from her room with a heart-inscribed box filled with $82 of her hard-earned savings and a love letter, just for her and her husband. The note reads:

“Dear Mum and Dad “� here is some money for a date night.

“It should cover a movie, dinner, and maybe extras.

“Love Chelsy-Lee.”

Just minutes after hearing her mum and dad talk about how they needed a night out, the Year 5 pupil raided her piggy bank to give her parents a break this week.

Ms Ordonez�told�news.com.au how proud she is of her daughter.�”She is such a sweetie and I was overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness. There are no words “� I was just completely overwhelmed with her generosity and very proud that she can be so selfless. Chelsy-Lee is a gorgeous soul that acts in ways that are often beyond her years,” she said.

At�a young age, Chelsy-Lee volunteers at workshops for Reverse Garbage, helps in art workshops for children with disabilities and is a dedicated helper in Children Hospital gift runs, even starting a fundraising venture at her school to raise money for St Lucy’s, a school for the intellectually disabled at Wahroonga.
