Amy Weiss, Undies for Everyone

CNN Heroes 2022

 

It’s so simple, yet so needed. Underwear. We don’t often think about it, but not having underwear can impact a child’s self-esteem, attitude and even school attendance. This week’s CNN Hero, Rabbi Amy Weiss, is a Texan who is providing this essential item to children in need and victims of natural disasters. And it’s all done anonymously, so the receiver and the giver never meet, nor are the recipients ever photographed. By the end of 2022, Amy and her organization, Undies for Everyone, will have given away nearly 5 million pairs of new underwear to men, women and children in need across America.
