fourteen year old. We've all heard about the devastating flash
floods that hit Texas over the Fourth of July weekend

squeezed every lemon by hand. They made bracelets, they made
bookmark they made cookies, they even made goodie bags. Neighbors
pitched in with tents, chairs, a cotton candy machine, and

They created customers, They tallied sales, they kept lines of
people smiling despite a few rain delays. And at the
end of the day, do you know how much they
had raised? How much? Seventeen thousand dollars? What you're gonna say,
like five hundred bucks? There are actual companies run by

(01:29):
adults that don't do fundraising like that in a single day. Cow,
that is incredible. And the donations kept rolling in, pushing
the total to more than twenty two thousand bucks. Geez.
Another five thousand dollars from twins Corrigan and Cannon Camp
in Fort Worth, Texas, who held their own stand and
this lemonade movement kind of raised more than twenty seven

(01:52):
thousand dollars to help rebuild their summer home away from
home at the camp. Isn't that amazing? Yeah? That's incredible.

Mystic taught them. Lead with compassion, take action, and show
up when your community needs you. I would Yeah again,
