Greyson Miller has a kind heart and thatB次元官网网址檚 prompted many people to get behind his cause.
It all started when the Grade 3 student at Chemainus Elementary School wanted to do something to make the two gaga ball pits at the school accessible to another student in a wheelchair.
B次元官网网址淗e didnB次元官网网址檛 think it was fair she couldnB次元官网网址檛 play,B次元官网网址� said GreysonB次元官网网址檚 dad Dan Miller.
Gaga ball for the uninitiated is a gentler form of dodge ball played in an enclosed pit. The object is to be the last person standing and players hit the ball at each other with their hands. If the ball strikes them on or below the knee, just like dodge ball, theyB次元官网网址檙e eliminated.
Students love to jump in and join the fun in the pits, but not everyone can and Greyson decided he was going to change that.
B次元官网网址淲hen heB次元官网网址檚 passionate about something, he goes after it,B次元官网网址� said Dan. B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 a doer.B次元官网网址�
Greyson found a design for a gate that would allow students of all ages and abilities to participate.
B次元官网网址淗is mom made a little YouTube video and he was going to ask the PAC for funding,B次元官网网址� noted Dan.
Greyson started actively fundraising by doing odd jobs, with his family collecting bottles and cans. They ordered some B次元官网网址楲etB次元官网网址檚 All PlayB次元官网网址� stickers to sell, buying 100 while the lady who made them donated another 100.

Chemainus Elementary teacher Alyssa Davidson also started a GoFundMe page for GreysonB次元官网网址檚 effort. About $350 U.S. was needed for each of the two gates, Dan said, and that total was easily surpassed with more than $1,170 raised already.
B次元官网网址淗e decided he would try if there was enough money to do as many gates in the district as possible,B次元官网网址� said Dan.
Greyson is now turning his attention toward that and any additional funds raised could go to other similar projects.
