A small lemonade stand in Winnipeg has raised thousands of dollars for cancer research and treatment, bringing hope to those affected by the disease.
The stand, run by 10-year-old twins, Lily and Ava, and their 8-year-old sister, Olivia, was set up in their front yard with a simple goal: to raise money for cancer. The girls were inspired by their grandmother, who is currently battling cancer, and wanted to do something to help.
Their efforts paid off as they were able to raise over $3,000 in just one day. The money will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society to support research and treatment for those fighting the disease.
The girls’ mother, Sarah, says she is incredibly proud of her daughters and their determination to make a difference. “They have such big hearts and they wanted to do something to help their grandma and others who are going through the same thing,” she said.
The community also showed their support for the lemonade stand, with many people stopping by to make a donation and show their appreciation for the girls’ efforts. Some even brought homemade treats to sell alongside the lemonade, with all proceeds going towards the cause.
The girls’ father, Mark, says the overwhelming response from the community has been heartwarming. “It’s amazing to see how much support and love our community has shown for our family and for this cause,” he said.
The lemonade stand not only raised money for a good cause, but it also brought hope to those affected by cancer. Lily, Ava, and Olivia’s grandmother, who was able to visit the stand, says she is grateful for her granddaughters’ efforts. “It means so much to me to see them doing something positive and making a difference,” she said.
The girls’ lemonade stand is a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can have a big impact. Their selfless actions have not only raised money for cancer research and treatment, but they have also brought the community together and given hope to those who need it most.
