A Florida teen is paying it forward and giving back in big ways. Seth Owen’s story was widely shared when his biology teacher raised $140,000 for his college education on GoFundMe and he was later presented with a $25,000 check on Ellen DeGeneres' TV talk show.
After his parents forced to him move out for being gay, Owen's has launched his own organization to assist others in similar situations.
The organization Unbroken Horizons Scholarship Foundation will be awarding three scholarships this summer to those who are pursuing post-secondary education and challenged with unique life issues.
