Charity Is No Substitute for Humanity

Kinsley’s mom, Megan Green, told “Good Morning America” that she wrote up a Facebook post asking other employees at Mae Jemison High School in Huntsville to donate their own time off after her husband officially ran out of sick days. After her post, David Green, 31, a history teacher and football coach, received a total of 110 days.
