"There’s about $8,000 worth of donations in here we’re delivering today,” she said. “You have so many people wanting to give you donations, but I haven’t raised enough money to get a building, so it’s all stuffed in the basement."

Campos often delivers donations once a week. She said she’s not slowing down.

“I’ve gone so far, and why would I stop now when I’m doing so much better?" Campos said. "If I stop, I won’t feel like I’m changing the world."

Jackie Lehnert, Campos' mother, talked about the pride she feels from seeing her daughter help others.

“She’s been at it for more than a year, and to see her still have the drive to still keep pushing — it's just a really proud feeling," Lehnert said.
