2nd Grader raises more that $10k for Water Crisis hit Flint Schools

Seven-year-old Isiah Britt raises more than $10,000 for crisis-hit schools in Flint







A seven-year-old from Virginia has raised more than $10,000 to get sanitary water to crisis-hit schools in Flint, Michigan.

Isiah Britt heard about the water contamination problem in the city, which left students at Eisenhower Elementary School afraid to wash their hands, and decided to help.

Setting up a GoFundMe page, Isiah wrote: “Hi everyone! My name is Isiah and I am a 2nd grader at Buckland Mills Elementary in Gainesville, VA. I want to help the students at Eisenhower Elementary School in Flint Michigan.

“They have a lot of water bottles from big companies but they still can't wash their hands at school. So I am going to raise money to buy hand sanitizer for their school. $500 will help buy 20 cases of hand sanitizer (one case for each classroom). Once we meet our goal, we will have the hand sanitizer shipped directly to Eisenhower Elementary School. Thank you for helping me!”
