ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orlando middle school student has raised more than $1,500 in her quest to purchase school yearbooks for her homeless classmates.

Rebekah Jenkins and her friends, all of whom are eighth-graders at Lee Middle School, have raised enough money to cover the cost of 68 students’ yearbooks. Jenkins said any extra money raised will be used to buy gift cards from Wal-Mart or Super Target for the students’ families.

Jenkins said she got the idea to help her classmates when she was ordering her yearbook.

“I was just thinking how sad it is for some of them not to have a yearbook, and how unfortunate they are not to remember everything that happened,” Jenkins told WKMG-TV.

Jenkins said she talked to her friends about the idea and they began fundraising.
