Katiedo was the name she used for her Aunt Kathy, who lost her battle with cancer.

"When she died, I thought I should do something bigger," Madeline told ABC News. "I thought, all kids want to do is be happy, and I wanted to let them be happy when they go through their treatment."

Each kit includes kid-friendly items: a stuffed animal, acoloring book and twisty straws.

So far she and her classmates have made 50 kits and plan to drop them off at the local children's hospital.
