After seeing the devastation in Houston after Hurricane Harvey, students at City Springs Elementary/Middle School in Baltimore led fundraising efforts to help the victims of the storm.

Some of the students said they didn't know a lot about what was going on before school started for the 2017-18 academic year, and others said many of them don't have much to give but felt the need to get involved as they received more and more information about the damages caused by Hurricane Harvey.

"When school first started, I didn't really care about what was happening in Houston. That sounds a little selfish, but I just didn't care because I knew I was safe," said Allyah Duncan to WBAL-TV.

However, Duncan and her classmates' tones changed as they learned how people in Texas had lost everything. The eighth-graders led a school-wide fundraiser with the goal of raising $500. They quickly exceeded that goal, raising $1,000 to donate to the American Red Cross.

"Us, as people from Baltimore, we're not in the best predicament. We don't got money like that to be giving away, but I see all these little kids giving away a whole bunch of money, whole bunch of supplies and I'm like, 'That's kind of great,'" August Baker told WBAL-TV.

The students shared their experience and fundraising efforts with Baltimore City Councilman Zeke Cohen who congratulated them on stepping up to lend a hand to those in need. Duncan also encouraged other schools to also show support to Hurricane Harvey victims in Texas.
