NBA superstar LeBron James is not only helping kids from his hometown receive an education, but he’s also making sure families have the necessary support to succeed outside the classroom.
For Britney Bennett, a 32-year-old mother living in Akron, stable housing is something she’s tirelessly fighting to secure for her three children. She said that her children, the youngest being a 1 year old, have juggled between the shelter and staying overnight with their grandmother until they find a permanent place to live.
In his 2010 book,"LeBron's Dream Team: How Four Friends and I Brought a Championship Home," he wrote about his mother, Gloria’s, challenges that resulted with them having to move a dozen times by age 10."It was mentally challenging. ... No kid at 8,9 should have stress. And I was one of those kids, so I know exactly what those kids today are going through being a part of this,” James told ESPN ahead of the school’s opening last year.
McGee called the school a"one-stop shop" for its list of resources and said that the new housing plan is just an expansion of that. The LeBron James Family Foundation confirmed to ABC News that no specific families have been selected yet for the I Promise Village. It will include approximately 20 families that are in immediate need of housing.
