This is both a feel-good story and a what-are-you-doing-with-your-life story. An 11-year-old girl named Lily Born noticed that her grandfather was having a hard time keeping liquids in his cup because of his Parkinson's disease. She came up with the idea to put three legs on the cup to keep it upright.

The "Kangaroo Cup" is also unbreakable and will come in a series of colors if the Kickstarter reaches its goal of $25,000 in the next 30 days. At the time of this article, Born has already gotten close to $19,000, so it looks promising. Did we mention that she is only 11 years old? Check out the project video below and support the important project if you can.
