The recent Waltrip High School grad, who has volunteered there many times over the years, brought dozens of pizzas and hygiene kits for the residents.
A local restaurant heard of Leanne's generosity and offered her the graduation dinner she never had. Steak 48 hosted her and her family at their posh River Oaks location.
Leanne says she hopes to make a career out of giving back and will study nursing at Briar Cliff University in Iowa.
