One man stepped up to help students in his community and raised more than $7,500 to pay off school lunch debt for high school students.
Dustin Wright created a fundraiser on Facebook with the initial goal of collecting $1,000 towards the negative lunch account balances at Amherst County High School.
The former Marine and father of three said a school staff member told him that the high school was most in need, and"depending on how well this goes, we can focus on the middle and elementary schools after." Since the campaign began on Wednesday, Wright surpassed his initial goal and closed the campaign out once it reached $7,676.
