a BIG difference where it counts!

Giving back “We all have a voice and a heart to give back and spread hope,” Bailee tells M Girls!

Girl time with Bailee “My favorite part about giving back and working with kids is sharing love and happiness,” says B.

Let’s take a selfie “Some of the kids used Instagram to post their pics so I was able to see them and like them!” Bailee reveals to M.

Spreading love “Kids are the bravest, kindest and most inspiring people,” Bailee tells M. We agree!

School comes pretty easy for me, but I know that’s not something everyone cay say. So once a week, I help tutor middle school students. It’s a fun way to help others and makes me want to consider becoming a teacher when I grow up! — Rocky, 15, Brooksville, KY

“I tutor middle schoolers once a week!”

Whenever you’re feeling down, what always helps bring a smile to your face? For Bailee Madison, it’s simple: Giving back. And recently, she was able

to do just that when she teamed up with the Lollipop Theater Net-wok, an organization who sets up personalized visits between celebs and hospitalized children. “Visiting Los Angeles’s LAC+USC Medical Center was so much fun!” Bailee opens up to M. “We watched my movie Northpole, then took a bunch of selfies and chatted.” For Bailee, it’s those intimate moments where she can connect with all the kids that really touch her heart. “Every child, ev-ery hospital room visit and each conversation [I had] that day was an inspiration and a true joy,” she tells M. So did she have a favorite

moment? “I loved getting to meet this one boy in particular whose entire family was there with him,” she says. “I’ll never forget when I walked in and I saw

his entire face light up! To me, that was so inspiring because he wasn’t happy just for himself, but he was happy for his entire family!” In her own words, Bailee shares that catching glimpses of happiness like that whenever she visits a children’s hospital makes the experience that much more special. ”I’m constantly in awe of how the kids there always seem to project warmth even though they are going through the hardest of circumstances — these visits encour-age me to want to do more [for them],” she tells M. “I believe that every child deserves to live a happy and healthy life and whenever I walk out of the hospital after my visits, I feel more determined than ever to do what I can to make that happen for them. Giving back reminds me of the little things that we take for granted, like getting to play on a soccer team, going to birthday parties and going to school. Those are things that children in hospitals can’t do and it’s up to us to do every-thing we can to help.” Go Bailee!

No matter how much Cody and Alli Simpson have going on in their lives, they never say no to supporting a good cause. “Alli and I love doing anything we can to help make a difference!” Cody exclusively tells M. Recently, the Aussie sibs did just that when they hit up the

#GiveABrickCampaign together. “Every time the hashtag was shared online, money was raised in hopes of achieving their million dollar goal to build schools in Uganda,” Cody explains. “It was the perfect movement to harness the power of my social media channels to raise money and create a change.” Nice!

Cody and Alli tweet for charity!

Picture perfect “[Julia] shined brighter than any-one in the room,” Vanessa shares.

Ciara Bravo and her Red Band Society co-star Nolan Sotillo can’t help but grin while posing for a cute photo with their fan, cancer survivor, Becky. “I feel like every time we go to visit kids [at Mattel Children’s Hospital] they’re so generous and fun to hangout with,” Ciara shares with M. “We always end up telling jokes and making new memories to look back on and smile about.” Becky says she felt the same way. “They were really nice,” she smiles.

It’s no secret that Vanessa Hudgens loves get-ting dolled up, but she was especially excited to put on a gown to help host the Hollywood Domino Dallas charity event, which helped raise money for Make A Wish. While she was there, Vanessa even met a special little girl named Julia who was a leukemia survivor. “[I’m] in love with her strength and spirit,” Vanessa said. The pair bonded while dancing the night away and taking selfies!

I recently cleaned out my closet and realized that I had outgrown a ton of my clothes. Instead of tossing them out, I gave them to the little girl who lives next door to me! — Emma, 13, Chattanooga, TN

“I gave my neighbor my clothes!” My mom and I are animal lovers,

so much so that when we noticed an

abandoned dog in our neighborhood, we

took him in. When nobody claimed him,

we decided to keep him! He’s the best!

— Rose, 14, Columbus, OH

“My family rescued an abandoned dog! ”

The cast of GMW is the sweet-est! Why? Well, when they had a break from filming, they paid a visit to Ryan Seacrest Studios at the Children’s Hospital of Or-ange County. “We met so many awesome kids,” Sabrina Carpenter shares. Peyton Meyer agreed, adding, “We had a great time

visiting the hospital!” While they were there, Rowan Blanchard and Corey Fogelma-nis even met a little boy named Ryan who they grew pretty at-tached to. Ryan even ended up giving Corey a

nickname! “He nicknamed me Farkle Bear,” Corey shares.
