A 9-year-old and her friends raised $40,000 for black-owned businesses by selling homemade bracelets
The protests in Minneapolis and across the country are resonating with people of all ages, leaving many wondering what they can do to help.
Kamryn Johnson, 9, the daughter of former NFL player Ron Johnson, had an idea. She lives in Chanhassen, Minn. about a 20-minute drive from where George Floyd was killed while in police custody.
Kamryn and five of her friends, who live in the same neighborhood and have been isolating during the novel coronavirus pandemic in a four-family bubble, sprang into action.
With Kamryn at the helm, the children ages 5 to 12 started making colorful string bracelets to sell, with all proceeds going toward helping Minneapolis communities in need.
