Whiz Kids: Tori and Gia
The Swampscott cousins raised $65 for tornado relief at a recent yard sale.
The cousins used a bright idea to help people in need.
When Tori Minkovitz's mom, Dineen Bartolo, put together a yard sale a week ago, Tori, 8, decided to sell lemonade, her used books and tattoos.
The Hadley School student was joined by her cousin Gia Maietta, 9, from Clarke School.
