Now that Sneed is a sophomore at the Berklee College of Music, his younger brother Justice and his friend Halo Davis are continuing the tradition of giving.
鈥淥ur goal is to raise $5,000 for the Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center in Washington, D.C.,鈥� Justice said. 鈥淎ll donations will go toward purchasing medical supplies and infant supplies like Pampers and formula.鈥�
Noah and Justice鈥檚 mom, Carlesa, told 草莓传媒 she could not be 鈥渕ore thrilled and more proud of them.鈥�
鈥淗e’s had a tremendous village of women to support him throughout his whole life,鈥� Carlesa said of Noah. 鈥淢yself, his grandmothers, my sister. 鈥� I think his passion for that came from his love for women who have loved him.鈥�
Carlesa said she鈥檚 close with her 鈥渆motionally intelligent鈥� sons and talks to them about the type of 鈥渢hings that impact women.鈥�
鈥淭he way I’ve been able to provide for them is not something that everyone has the ability to do,鈥� she said. 鈥淲e’ve always talked about 鈥� having a heart of gratitude, and from that gratitude, a heart of giving.鈥�
Justice said seeing the impact their work is having on families feels “absolutely amazing.”
鈥淚 believe that you have to be the change that you want to see in the world,鈥� Justice said. 鈥淟ittle by little, a little becomes a lot, and that me and my brother’s contributions can really help change the lives of others.鈥�
