Detroit School Gets Incredible Contribution
Kyle Smitley really wants to make a difference in her hometown of Detroit. In September, the 28-year-old opened the Detroit Achievement Academy, a non-profit public school located in the city's poorest zip code. The school not only provides an excellent education for children from low-income families, it aims to teach students about healthy eating, recycling and giving back to the community.
Kyle and her fellow educator Danielle visited "Ellen" to talk about their school, but what they didn't expect was to be given a check from Shutterfly for $25,000 - immediately followed by another $25,000 donation!

Besides being on an international border that's booming, it has the largest number og per capita engineers in north America. There are losts of very rich people lining up to invest in Detroit. So, somebody sees something.
What makes me sick is that the general population of the region wont benefit from any of the investment
