This week, Ashley Biden, daughter of former Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden, celebrated a collaboration of her Livelihood — an organization that works on a grassroots level to help fund schools, vocational training programs, and job placement services — with popular online shopping website Gilt.com.
