Michelina Damianakis was a patient at All Children's Hospital in 2014. She never forgot how wonderful the hospital staff treated her and took care of her during her stay.
 
Now Michelina is excited to give back to the hospital and bring smiles to other kids.
 
She has permission from the hospital to hold a fundraiser, including the use of their logo and support.
 
Michelina is the force behind Floppies.
 
The Florida-based Flip Flop company is a way to stay cool and help all children in need, Michelina said. 
 
When Michelina reaches her goal she will deliver the toys to the hospital, and the staff are going to make it a special moment for all her hard work.
 
Michelina and her mother, Lisa Damianakis, sat down for an interview with ABC Action News Weekend anchor Lindsay Logue to talk about the fundraising project.
