15-year-old Mason student launches podcast ‘Little Helpers Big Inspirations’

Rishika Jeyaprakash, 15, of Mason, with the help of her little sister, Joshika, 8, runs 'Little Helpers' a nonprofit aimed to inspire kids to be kind and to give back to others. The nonprofit has raised more than 16,000 dollars for other organizations as well as donated over 4,500 new toys to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

Rishika Jeyaprakash was 9 years old when she came up with the idea for her nonprofit, Little Helpers. She remembers the date it launched: July 23, 2015.

“I was always told to be kind by my parents and just like, if you ever see someone in need just smile at them, just try your best to help them out. If you see a friend at school who’s sitting alone, like, invite them to come sit with you and just stuff like that,” Rishika, now a freshman at Mason High School, says. “And that’s when I thought, ‘OK, helping by myself is one thing. But what if I could get, like, my friends to join me or other people to join me so that we could give back on a larger scale?' "
