A dad in Texas went to his sonâs high school graduation âĻ proudly wearing the PokÊmon tie his son made him back when his was in the first grade.
"I made this tie for my dad when I was in 1st grade. 11 years later he wears it to my graduation," Dylan Olivo wrote on Twitter. Dylan said his dad, Robert, had never worn the tie, which features a drawing of Pikachu, before â and he didnât even realize his dad still had it. But Robert had reason to proudly show off the tie âĻ his son graduated with honors.
In just four months, a 12-year-old from Texas has raised 2,000 and donated almost 1,500 socks to help the homeless.
Earlier this year, Emily West realized that little things like socks can make a difference in peopleâs lives, so she made it her mission to collect and donate new socks to those in need.
Emily established her own non-profit organization, partnered with an existing group and raised the money to help others.
Originally, she set a goal of a 1,000 socks â which she met. Now, she wants to keep going and is considering stretching the goal to a million socks, but admits thatâs a âbig jump.â
