Liam Byrne recently collected items for a massive donation drive for Casa Youth Shelter in Los Alamitos. He is 10 years old and a 5th grade student at St. Hedwig’s. Inspired by his Weblos Thanksgiving drive, he wanted to do one on a larger scale.
Thanks to his diligence of passing out 400 flyers in College Park East and the generous residents of CPE, he amassed quite a haul. Asked why he does this, he said, “I just like to help people.” And clearly help them he does.
Casa Youth Shelter was grateful for the donations of food, office supplies, school supplies and teenage toys (board games). Casa is such a necessary and vibrant part of the community and Liam was glad to do what he could.
Liam lives in College Park East with his parents Leo and Nancy Byrne and older brothers Aidan, Declan and Ciaran. Besides scouting, he is also an avid soccer player and a budding chef.
