#NEW: This is Detroit Prep - one of the top K-8 schools in the city.

10 years ago, this building was left vacant and abandoned. In 2019, Detroit Prep officially moved in and has been revitalizing it since.

After years of heart and hustle, the charter school wants to own their building and buy it outright.

They need $250,000 to do it - so they're turning to GoFundMe to raise the money.

Tonight on @Local4News, you'll hear from the school's co-founder and executive director.
