A 15-year-old boy has raised over $13,000 in donations for homeless veterans, special-needs children, and first responders by selling and donating wooden flags he carves himself.

In 2019, Lorenzo Liberti met a homeless veteran while serving meals at a food pantry with his church youth group. The tenth-grader. from Lakewood Ranch, Florida, couldn’t understand how someone who had served the country ended up abandoned, he told CNN.
