6-Year-old’s Lemonade Stand Raises $10,000 for Dad’s Cancer Treatment
By Good News Network Wednesday, April 18, 2012
Six-year-old Drew Cox's father was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer three months ago. Since then, this sweet Texas boy has been selling lemonade to help his father with medical bills.
When word spread about the boy, crowds from the surrounding area showed up on Saturday giving donations, mingling with neighbors and sipping lemonade.
The family said the stand has earned more than $10,000 to offset out-of-pocket costs for chemotherapy.
