One day, when his sister was playing a song repeatedly, Sam sang along. His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video and Sam became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldnt have expected the response.“The Doctors (The television show) called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sams mother, had an idea about Sam writing a childrens book. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sams experience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.“I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people,” Sam says.Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.“A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital,” says Sam.Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize Sams ideas. She named the nonprofit Kindness for Kids.Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.Sams father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground.
