β€˜It takes a village to raise a child’

Chicago-based teacher LaShonda Carter received a message from one of her former students, 18-year-old Larresha Plummer, asking for bus money so she could attend a job fair.

But she went above and beyond - not only driving Larresha there, but babysitting her one-month-old baby in the car while she handed out CVs.

She recorded a Facebook Live asking others to donate to Larresha - and her act of kindness has gone viral. They’ve been overwhelmed.

And there is a further happy ending: Larresha got a job.
