ROCHESTER (CBS) -- A 10-year-old Rochester boy was able to donate $1,800 in books to a diversity library. Kelcey Robertson is biracial and wanted to do something to help kids like him.

WBZ-TV first learned about Kelcey this summer when Kelsey started a fundraiser. He began selling lettuce grown in his home container garden.

After earning $1,800, Kelcey used the money to buy books for the Rochester Memorial School.
