Knowing how hard it can be to not be able to pay for school lunch, Missouri 14-year-old DeJuan Strickland is on a mission to pay off all negative lunch balances at his former school, McCurdy Elementary in Florissant.
The teen set up a crowdfund to raise $200 for the school's lunch debt and quickly surpassed that goal, before expanding his mission to tackle the entire school district's lunch debt.
To date, Strickland has raised over $5,000, but he has no plans to stop and hopes to "give back at larger scales" as he pursues a career in computer programming.
