Two months ago, we broke the story about a man named Elvis who built a tiny mobile shelter for a woman sleeping in the dirt on his block.
Meanwhile, one nine-year-old girl has been doing the very same thing-and she came up with the idea all on her own.
Hailey Fort of Bremerton, Washington, first befriended a homeless man named Edward when he lost his job at their local supermarket. Hailey, who happens to be handy with an electric drill, decided to get to work building him a "mobile sleeping shelter," and she knows what she's doing.

"If there was no insulation, he would get cold. If there was no tar paper, he would get a draft," she told King 5 news. With a little help from her grandfather, who is a contractor by trade, she successfully built Edward a 8×4 wooden shelter.
Hailey's fundraising campaign has already raised $29,000. You can also follow Haily's Harvest on Facebook.
