NBA superstar LeBron James is not only helping kids from his hometown receive an education—he’s also making sure families have the necessary support to succeed outside the classroom.

NBA superstar LeBron James is not only helping kids from his hometown receive an education, but he’s also making sure families have the necessary support to succeed outside the classroom.

For Britney Bennett, a 32-year-old mother living in Akron, stable housing is something she’s tirelessly fighting to secure for her three children. She said that her children, the youngest being a 1 year old, have juggled between the shelter and staying overnight with their grandmother until they find a permanent place to live.

In his 2010 book,"LeBron's Dream Team: How Four Friends and I Brought a Championship Home," he wrote about his mother, Gloria’s, challenges that resulted with them having to move a dozen times by age 10."It was mentally challenging. ... No kid at 8,9 should have stress. And I was one of those kids, so I know exactly what those kids today are going through being a part of this,” James told ESPN ahead of the school’s opening last year.

McGee called the school a"one-stop shop" for its list of resources and said that the new housing plan is just an expansion of that. The LeBron James Family Foundation confirmed to ABC News that no specific families have been selected yet for the I Promise Village. It will include approximately 20 families that are in immediate need of housing.

He should do that, that's what his money should be used for. It's his job. If he can't use his wealth to help people then it's useless

But to hell with those stepping up for democracy in Hong Kong. Bad for business

He is the one who didn’t dare to confront China. Poor guy.

ABC protects their own

What's for Dinner to LeWong? Maybe some Mongolian beef? A little sweet and sour pork? LeWong loves him some China

Let me guess - A LeBron James 2024? ticket? - Aghhh

So what .

OH_NO_1661 Support outside the classroom? You mean china🇨🇳🤑🤑🤑

Comrade Supports the commies. He can keep up this rehab image, but we will always remember when he had the world's platform he caved. China told him to shut up and dribble and he did.

Go LeBron helping kids in so important.

ABC could have protected kids instead they helped pedophiles exploit them EpsteinCoverup

ncaa not gonna like this

Right after he acquiesces to China.

pro-Lebron news stories are flooding the net after his shameless anti-America pro-China remarks. the NBA along with Disney and Vans are in the communist party's pocket. Choose America over dirty Chinese money. Taking China's money means you're pro genocide.

His new slogan: shut up and dribble

epstiencoverup

That good keep it up

This is why LBJ is the GOAT not only because he is a great player but because what he does outside the court as well.

Just pay a wealth tax I’ve heard this is the way to go.

This tweet approved by communist China

Way to go LeBronJames giveback

He just doesn't support the freedom of America

Money from China at work in the USA. Good press opportunity.

Other wealthy people should follow LeBron James good deeds. If everyone took just one family to make sure they had the necessary tools to succeed, what a difference that would make.

Respect!

Don't forget to mention the major assist from Nike.

Now tell the masses how much public cash was spent, for his alleged school.🙄

hypocrite 😳

Lebron loves China

he makes tax payers burden though, bad news ☺️

Good man
