#KidsCan

Twelve year old Aniyah Ayres is the co-founder of Aniyah’s Mission which is an organization dedicated to empowering and encouraging children and adolescents to be a beacon into the future through their service. Aniyah’s Mission attempts to allow the vision of a child to blossom into philanthropic events designed to enhance the lives of others. Aniyah started this organization in 2014 with her mother, Angelia Gibson-Ayres to pay homage to her father’s legacy. Aniyah’s father, Pastor Antonio Ayres passed away when she was 2 years old. Aniyah’s Mission organizes an Annual Day of Peace to give children a day of fun. The children and adults alike are given free food, book bags, school supplies, free books, face painting, water ice and performances by local acts. It is a day of peace and love that has become a staple in the community. This will be the 2nd year that God has blessed us to be able to award 3 “Back to School” Scholarships which provide children with $200 for school uniforms/clothes, pair of sneakers, pair of shoes, a hair cut or hair style, book bag, schools supplies, and a Aniyah’s Mission T-shirt.
