I am really impressed by 14 year old Jayera Griffin who could taken the money she saved to attend Spring Break with her friends instead of using the money she saved through fundraisers to assist low income families to get clean clothes since she foots the bill to have their clothes clean. Griffin is an eighth grade student at Washington Junior High School in Riverdale Illinois who tutors her classmates did not always have clean clothes to wear. Recently Ms. Griffin raised $1,000 dollars at a fundraiser to have dirty clothes from her classmates and their relatives cleaned at the local laundry store, These kinds of stories are wonderful to learn that all not young children only care for themselves.

@Deepizzaguy I bet she has wonderful parents. Some things are not taught at school.

hmm, for that money, I wonder if she could set up a laundromat service for her schoolmates and their family? (Too much of trouble I guess!)

I am sure when she becomes an adult, she will purchase a laundry of her own.
