Houston Area Teenager Saves 2 From Drowning

Donation protected


There's a real life hero living in Houston, Texas and his name is Jayden Payne.  He's a 16 years old high school student.   Too many times, we're told that today's young people don't care about others, just themselves.  Jayden Payne has proven this point of view about today's youth is false.   Jayden  was faced with a desperate,  life or death challenge and he chose to meet that challenge and in doing so, saved two lives - a mother and her two year old child.  What Jayden did is nothing less than AMAZING and truly INSPIRING!   

I'm an employee of Aldine Independent School District, the district in which Jayden is a student.  I don't know Jayden Payne or any member of his family, but I want to help this courageous, young  student (and I hope you'll feel the same way) by providing him with an "all bills paid" college education.  100% OF THE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO A COLLEGE FUND for Jayden Payne.   

I'm asking for your help to gift Jayden the way he stepped up  to save a mother and her daughter from drowning in flood waters.  There's a saying by Edwin Markham that goes, "There is a destiny which makes us brothers; none goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own." 

Thank you in advance for helping return goodness to a deserving young student who risked his life to save another.
