孙女的同学没有钱买牛奶,奶奶帮忙募捐

Jackie Sue says she saw her granddaughter Sunshine dump out all of her piggy bank money on the floor and start counting it.
Minutes later she saw her begin to place the money in a small plastic bag which peaked Sue’s interest. “I asked her what she was doing with the bag of money,” Sue wrote in a Facebook post. “Her answer put me in tears—I am going to give it to my friend at school because she doesn't get milk for snack. Her mom doesn't have any milk money but I do.”
Two days later, Sue started a GoFundMe page to help her granddaughter raise milk money. “Sunshine would be happy that all of her friends in her Kindergarten class would have milk for snack every day with her,” Sue wrote on the fund raising page. According to CBS News, half of the 20 students in Sunshine's class do not get milk, which costs $0.9 for a carton. For every child who couldn’t afford to have milk during snack time, it would add up to $180 per month. So, when Sue began the GoFundMe, she set out to raise about $540 — enough so that every child in Sunshine’s class could have a carton of milk each day for the rest of the term.
