Kyle, who is 10 and in the fifth grade at Huber Street Elementary, also has to present his service project to his Cub Scout pack. He is currently in Arrow of Light rank in the Cub Scouts. He must complete this in order to graduate Cub Scouts in June.

Kyle also asks the public to make donations, if they choose, to the Jersey City Animal Shelter. See above for what they need. You can donate to the Jersey City Animal Shelter via this Amazon registry he created: amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/SRC6ZAN7MBE

He created the Amazon registry on his own. He also used Canva to create the QR code for donations. He also made the flyer. He especially wants to help the Jersey City Animal Shelter because they will give people food if they cannot afford to feed their pets, rather than surrendering their pets.
