What happens when you're 8 years old and your best friend is diagnosed with a brain tumor? You brainstorm to raise $$ for her, in the coolest way!
Jesse Starr's best friend, Claire has been fighting her tumor since last year. At the county fair this summer, Jesse decided to sell a hog he'd raised.
The hog sold for $16,000, but once the buyer found out what the proceeds were going to, she surprised everyone by saying, "Sell it again!"
In the end, Jesse raised $19,000 for Claire!
"Never in a million years, did I ever anticipate it going the way it did," Claire's mom Rachel told ABC. Jesse's mom Shauna added, "When it comes to kids and helping people out, this community is beyond gracious!"
