Giving Back: Trinity Sisters Help Heirloom Market

By Samantha DePriest

    When news of the fire at Heirloom Market Co and Bakeshop spread, Trinity 5th grader Macie Moore and 2nd grader sister Madelyn did not let their age stop them from jumping into action to help. Ashley Moore, Madelyn and Macie’s Mom and a former paraprofessional, owns an online boutique called “One Four Three” where she makes and sell candles and crafts. Ashley shared that her daughters have always had hearts for serving.  They were helping to clean out Ashley’s craft closet and came up with the creative idea to make Trinity keychains to sell and give the proceeds to Heirloom Market. They partnered with Wargo’s Pumpkin Patch to sell the keychains at their farm and Wargo’s matched the sales from them to help support Heirloom.

Macie started at Trinity midway through her 4th grade year and joined the TCS family this past January (2022) and is now in the 5th grade. She wants to be a teacher when she grows up. She loves sports and plays softball and basketball with her Dad as her basketball coach. 

Ms. Roberts, Macie’s teacher, shared “Macie is such a sweet girl! She is quick to encourage others and include everyone. She is honest, a diligent student and good friend.”

Little sister Madelyn started at Trinity in this past August (2022) and is in the 2nd grade. She wants to be a doctor when she grows up. Her Mom describes her as natural helper who is always happy to help. Just recently her Mom found her making wigs for children with cancer.

Mrs. Donaldson, Madelyn’s 2nd grade teacher, shares “Madelyn is such a joy! She is the first to volunteer to help myself, Mrs. PaskVan, or her classmates. She has a special gift in being able to anticipate the needs of her friends and loves to serve them. I see her encourage and support her classmates in such sweet ways. She truly models what it means to live in humility and putting others before yourself. It speaks volumes when God uses a child to remind you of his desire for us to love one another.”

With a little bit of help from their Mom with the glueing while they did the cutting, they handmade 60 Trinity keychains and 20 magnets and raised $200 for Heirloom!  We love to see how God is using Macie and Madelyn’s hearts and empowering their hands for compassionate service to impact the world around them. What an inspiring story of our little Lions giving back. Thank you for answering the call to serve Madelyn and Macie! We are so very proud of you!
