Albert Lexie is one in a million. As a child, he was dirt poor and dropped out of school. Today, Lexie, 56, makes a living by shining shoes. He works at the Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh.

Since 1885, he has given more than $40, 000 to help kids. "Albert's work is as important as any doctor's work," says one regular customer, Dr. Samuel Kocoshis. "He is a true humanitarian."
