If not, here is the profile. Who is Deamonte Love you may ask? He single handedly rescued 6 children--a 5, and 14th month old, 3 children who were approximately 2 years old, a 3-year-old girl and led them to safety after the Hurricane. LA Times reported, the toddlers followed, Deamonte Love as as if he were their leader. Incidentally, Deamonte is 6 years old.
This story in LA Times titled
He Held Their Lives in His Tiny Hands is such an inspiration.
At the rescue headquarters, a cool tile-floored building swarming with firefighters and paramedics, the children ate cafeteria food and fell into a deep sleep. Deamonte volunteered his vital statistics. He said his father was tall and his mother was short. He gave his address, his phone number and the name of his elementary school.
He said that the 5-month-old was his brother, Darynael, and that two others were his cousins, Tyreek and Zoria. The other three lived in his apartment building.
I would like to explore the possibility of raising a college fund for Deamonte. Any suggestions on how we could start this?
