My girl has been gun-ho for the lemonade business ever since she laid her eyes on a street-side stand. And I've put her off a lemonade season or two.
So, when our subdivision had a hood-wide sale, I figured it was time to explore her entrepreneural side.
Naturally, we asked her what 'cause' she'd like to raise for.
This was not easy for our girl whose heart gets easily tugged...and in several directions at that. With it being school supply season, we'd been talking a lot about those who couldn't afford them.
So, that was her cause of choice (although the whole time she was trying to talk me into also raising money for "food for people who can't afford food and who are hungry").
She made the above sign. Mixed her lemonade. And hired an assistant (sidekick: brother). They asked EVERY SINGLE person who walked up our drive. And sometimes Gabe followed potential customers into the garage. You could count on the fact that if a 'customer' didn't give, they were guilted by Dick the Bruiser Bubs.
Flynn raised over $30 & was able to buy a box chalked full of supplies for students in our building who started school without supplies.
God has allowed a planted seed in her heart to blossom into a pot of love & charity.
