The Community Supported Her
People have learned about what she’s doing for The Ronald McDonald House throughout the course of the 20 years that she’s been collecting. People in the neighborhood and even overseas started sending her all the pop tabs they had accumulated in the mail. Aletha says that she almost everyday receives pop tabs in the mail, which is why she keeps track of how many she has.

“I just got more excited when I got more tabs and started counting them,” Aletha said. “And I thought, ‘well, you know, that might be alright to count them just to see how many we can get.’” She had no idea that she would be collecting them for the following 20 years! She quickly became aware of how much she was assisting the nonprofit, and she set a target of 10 million tabs, which she achieved in 2021.
