WCCB Charlotte s CW
December 18, 2020
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Charlotte native, 14-year-old, Za’nia Stinson, has provided thousands of food and toiletry items to women and children staying at a local shelter and to people living on the streets. She was inspired by her own story.
One day, Za’nia saw a woman and her two children begging for food in front of a supermarket “I knew what it was like to be hungry, and it made me sad,” said Za’nia, who at one time had lived in a shelter with her grandmother. She asked her foster mother for money to help the woman, who cried when she received it. “This brought tears to my eyes,” said Za’nia.
