from Baton Rouge News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

When an 11-year-old girl named Katie battles a rare, terminal brain cancer, her family’s fight becomes a beacon of hope after a social media hero steps in. After meeting Katie’s mom, Breann, in a grocery store, Jimmy Darts—who’s known for doing good deeds—was moved to action. He launched a GoFundMe and then stunned everyone by donating $300,000 just six days later, plus a brand-new vehicle. The Tantons, who’d even slept in a tent to afford treatment, now have a lifeline—and proof that one person’s generosity can change everything.
