Here's how Danielle Ziaja is making a difference in Oakland and Macomb counties.
On the Friday before her senior year at Detroit Country Day was set to begin, Danielle Ziaja of Rochester Hills had a hair appointment, a senior photo shoot and some summer calculus homework to finish up. She is, in many ways, a typical 17-year-old. Except for the 1,300 crayons, 185 bars of soap and 3,282 tubes of toothpaste that were packed into the back of her parents' Yukon. On Friday morning, Danielle unloaded the crayons, soap and toothpaste, along with thousands of other personal care and school supply items, onto a cart bound for a warehouse at the Lighthouse of Oakland County. The shipment capped off a summer of similar donations across Oakland and Macomb counties — 31,026 items in all. "People who talk about being worried about …

Danielle Ziaja collected more than 12,000 personal hygiene items for the needy in Oakland County.
It all started with a small tube of toothpaste. As the daughter of an orthodontist, Danielle Ziaja has grown up seeing her dad, Bob Ziaja, receive nonstop samples of toothpastes in his Macomb and Clarkston offices. About a year ago, she had an idea to do something amazing with the samples of toothpaste — and of other personal hygiene products that dentists and doctors received. And that's how the Rochester Hills teen made a Clean Start. Danielle, who will be a senior at Detroit Country Day, started the Clean Start Service Project, which collects personal items and school supplies to donate to local organizations that help the needy. To date, she has collected 12,640 items. They have come from dentists and doctors, from a collection drive …
