When 6-year-old Olamide Ajayi heard that his former home-school teacher Miss Lisa Bernauer was sick with cancer and struggling to pay her medical bills, he wasted no time springing into action.
He prepared a money jar with her picture on it. He cut a video and put up a GoFundMe page. He even hit up a flight attendant for a donation.
His goal? One thousand dollars — which he got in just a couple of weeks, and gave to the teacher he calls Miss Lisa just before Christmas. The generous donation will cover a month's worth of Miss Lisa's expensive medication regimen.
