The 7 singles Grand Slam champion from a very young age hated to see Serena disappointed over different issues. One such huge incident happened when they were in school and it was the 42-year-old who came to help her sister.

The American tennis legends, Venus and Serena Williams have always showcased their support and adoration towards each other since they were in school. Being a big sister among the two often comes with a lot of responsibilities and duties and the same was true for Venus.


Serena Williams previously detailed how her sister helped in school.

“One day, I realized just before lunch that I didn’t have any money. The way it worked at this particular school was if you didn’t have any money for lunch you’d stand in this special line and they’d give vou a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.”

Serena also revealed that she spent her money on something else.

They were serving fried chicken and the 41-year-old was craving to eat that meal. Further, the thought of missing out on all that fried chicken disappointed her.

Serena went to her big sister, Venus for some help during that “upsetting” situation.

“I told Venus the deal, and what did she do? She reached into her pocket and handed me her lunch money. She didn’t even think about it. She just said, “I’ll have the peanut butter and jelly sand-wich. I like peanut butter and jelly.” Whether it was, a gold trophy or a fried chicken lunch in the cafeteria, Venus hated to see her sister disappointed when they were in school.
