Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Maria who lived in a slum. She was a Roman Catholic and went to church every Sunday with her family to pray and receive support from the community. One day, the priest announced that the church needed support to help the people living in the slum. Maria wanted to do something to help, so she came up with an idea. She cleaned her home and sold her toys to raise money for the church's efforts to support the people in the slum. With the money, the church was able to provide food, clothing, and other necessities to those in need. From then on, Maria continued to support the church's efforts to help those in the slum, and she inspired others to do the same. The end.
