She’s all about helping others in the community

Stephanie Gray with Brianna, her oldest of four children.

“I started this thing called the Really, Really Free Market of Baytown. Basically, everybody brings stuff to donate and we have a giant garage sale, but everything’s free. Everybody gets a bag and they collect what they want. Whatever’s left over, I either save for the next month or I take it to Goodwill.”

Why did you start it?
“I came from a low-income family, and we had a lot of help from churches and different organizations. My mom always had to get help for things like school supplies and presents for Christmas. So I thought if I could help others who might be going through the same thing, then that would be worthwhile. It’s a way for everyone to help out their community.”
