The Team Elizabeth Jeanne Lemonade Stand
Time and time again, we have been totally overwhelmed by the support of our community. At the benefit, we received a note and bag of money from a lemonade stand that two young, local girls (Chloe Fritch and Olivia Rumbaugh) had earned as proceeds from their lemonade sales. They wanted to donate it to Elizabeth. We were very deeply touched by their generosity, especially at such a young age. They come from very generous and caring families, so it is no surprise that their children are just as kind and generous, but we were still very touched by the act of kindness and generosity.
A few weeks ago, these young ladies, and a few of their friends and family members, hosted another lemonade stand for Elizabeth. We were on our way to spend the day with our friends at their cottage along Lake Erie, when I started receiving Facebook notifications of this group of kids making signs and advertising that they were hosting a lemonade stand for Elizabeth that day. I immediately started crying. I could not believe that this sweet, kind group of local kids were taking time out of their summer day to host another lemonade stand for Elizabeth.
Apparently, it was quite the success!! We cannot thank these kids, their families, and the community for their support of the lemonade stand. It means so much to us. I know that the parents of these kids are proud of them, but we are so proud of their kindness, generosity and compassion for others that they are displaying at such a young age. We are proud and honored to know them, and they are proof positive that there is so much good in the world. Thank you again to everyone who helped to put the lemonade stand together, and to everyone who stopped by to show their support that day. It means so much to us!!
