CLERMONT, Fla. — A 6-year-old girl from Clermont is on a mission to deliver love and comfort to children who lost everything after Hurricane Dorian swept their homes away in the Bahamas.
- Daniella Williams watched Dorian pound Bahamas on news
- She wanted to do something for kids who lost their homes

Her simple idea grew into a town effort, and that is why Daniella Williams is an Everyday Hero.
Williams and her "Grammy" would watch the news every day when Hurricane Dorian was pounding the Bahamas.
Her parents were riding out the storm on the island. She then started to see children on TV and later found out that they had lost their homes.
That is when she decided to send them her own stuffed animals. But the effort didn't end there.
Williams began a call for action and asked her church members and even school classmates to contribute stuffed animals.
The response was overwhelming. Her grandmother's home became a makeshift factory, where volunteers prepared each stuffed animal with a note from Williams.
