Unique crowdfunding site makes classroom dreams come true
PledgeCents has served more than a million students across the country.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It's no secret that teachers often reach into their own pockets to supply their classrooms.



But two young Houstonians are making a real difference in thousands of schools across the country.



When they saw a need for funding in Houston area school districts, they created PledgeCents, a unique crowdfunding platform.



Teachers are using PledgeCents to fund everything from basic classroom supplies to tablets, 3-D printers, school trips and Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.



ABC13 caught up with one of the founders of PledgeCents to find out what makes it so different from other crowdfunding sites.
