A 10-year-old girl has taken it upon herself to make repairs to a bathroom at a Cincinnati area park.

In August, vandals destroyed the sink and toilet and spray-painted graffiti all over Volunteer Park in Golf Manor.


Haven Van Harn, 10, was sitting with her dad when the post about the damage came up online.

"Well my dad told me that there's a park and that the sink was destroyed and hurt," said Haven.

Haven wanted to help.

"Finally she said, 'Hey, I wonder if we can bake cookies for the sale.' I said, 'That's a great idea.' So I just helped coach her a little bit to say how much money do you want to raise and I let her write the post on NextDoor," said Roger Van Harn, Haven's father.

Haven and her family started baking a lot of chocolate chip cookies.

"Chocolate chip cookies are really tasty and that they're fun and they only take about an hour to make," said Haven.

Her goal was to make $100, but then word got out, and people began pitching in to help donate and even bake. So far, she has collected more than $250 and set a new goal of $600, which would pay for the sink repairs.

"People have said to me, 'It's cool that a 10-year-old girl was thinking of this,' and that it's just cool how I'm doing it with cookies!" said Haven.

Haven is holding a bake sale at Golf Manor's Volunteer Park from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday to raise money.
