Dedicated ‘Humans Of New York’ Fans Raise Money To Send Underserved Kids On Harvard Visit

Humans of New York (HONY) photographer Brandon Stanton is known for capturing incredible stories that move his viewers. And now, his audience is helping to give some of his subjects amazing opportunities.

Money from HONY fans is pouring in to send kids from a Brooklyn school to visit Harvard. The donation deluge came in after Stanton posted a photo to his blog earlier this week, featuring a boy who cited his principal as the most influential figure in his life. Their school is in Brownsville, an east Brooklyn neighborhood with one of the highest crime rates in New York City.

As of Friday night, HONY fans had already donated $20,000 to the summer program, which costs $40,000 a year, according to the HONY Instagram.
