Hands Across America was a public event on Sunday, May 25, 1986, in which approximately 6.5 million people held hands for fifteen minutes in an attempt to form a continuous human chain across the contiguous United States.

Many participants donated ten dollars to reserve their place in line. The proceeds were donated to local charities to fight hunger and homelessness and help those in poverty.

The event raised about $15 million for charities after operating costs.

Answer:

Sheila, Anna's mum.

Explanation:

Saving Anna's family is a story by Readworks, which has a main character called Anna, a good nature girl, who struggled with a terrible illness, cancer. Her health condition deteriorated to the extent that her mother, Sheila, had to resign from work to take care of her daughter.

Her decision drastically reduced the family's earning compared to the period before Anna's cancer was diagnosed, causing a worse financial condition in the family.

Anna's good friend, Christine realized that Anna's family needs financial help but they do not want to complain, so she and her friends organised a party to raise funds for Anna's family for them to survive.
