Krissi Fajgenbaum has been featured in People Magazine, clothing stores bear her name and she's outfitted thousands of low-income teens and still manages her college work load.
Fajgenbaum was deeply moved after watching a documentary about the poverty and unemployment rates that have struck the Appalachian community, just a few hours from her Raleigh, North Carolina home, Krissi was determined to find a way to help.
She soon founded Teens 2 Teens, a non-profit that gives gently used designer clothing to students in the poorest counties of North Carolina."Once I got out the word, everyone was super responsive and people were sending in huge donations,” she said. An estimated 50,000 donations were shipped to Krissi's Kloset, a boutique where students from the Robbinsville school district can shop for free.
