Jayden Perez

After Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, Jayden, who has relatives living on the island, felt a sense of responsibility to help those affected. The 9 year old organized a successful toy drive and even personally handed out more than 1,000 toys to children in Puerto Rico. Jayden continues to give back, recently using his birthday money to purchase dog, cat and rooster food for animals also impacted by the hurricane.
