For five consecutive winter breaks, a Las Vegas brother and sister have turned craft time into a fundraising tradition, generating close to $6,000 for people experiencing homelessness in the valley.
The idea traces back to a moment when Fifi, still in preschool, spotted someone without housing near her campus.
"So I'm like, well, maybe we could give them to everyone in preschool, like ask if they would want to purchase them, all your preschool friends, because there's a whole class right there."
According to Marie, another mother from Fifi's preschool class approached her in tears after hearing about the bracelet sales.
And when we said that we were selling these bracelets, the mom came up to me and was crying.
