                       PRAISING DONARI JOY MOSBY

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the kindness and 
generosity of a rising star in my district, Donari Joy Mosby. Ms. Mosby 
is a senior at County Prep High School in Jersey City, New Jersey.
  Mr. Speaker, 7 years ago, she made it her goal to select socks to 
help the homeless residents stay warm during the winter. She started 
with a modest goal of 250 pairs of socks. When she exceeded that, she 
raised the number every single year.
  This year, she donated more than 5,700 pairs of socks to a local 
community center on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive in Jersey City.

  In 7 years, Ms. Mosby has donated 21,883 pairs of socks to help the 
homeless of my district. She called her campaign the Joy of Sox and 
wrote that socks are a simple and powerful way to show love to someone 
going through difficult times.
  I agree, and I think her efforts and commitment to charity deserve to 
be praised.
