Graduating for good: Teen turns over open house for charity
When the attention should have gone to Donyea Freeman, who just graduated magna cum laude from high school, he was deflecting it toward others.
He turned his graduation open house into a charity event.
"He put it on someone else," Lorene Jones said, remembering how her grandson turned his open house at Four Points by Sheraton Saginaw into a huge food and clothing drive for the City Rescue Mission of Saginaw.
The next day, they delivered two full carloads of goods to the shelter at 1021 Burt.
