DACULA, Ga. — A fundraiser launched to support a Georgia teen’s college dreams has now raised over $110,000 after a stranger was inspired by his quiet act of kindness.

That’s when she saw Mykale Baker, a recent graduate himself, working behind the counter, still wearing his graduation medals and smiling as he filled orders.
