These brothers have been eager to help since the BLM protests started and finding out about all those who are struggling financially due to COVID-19. Donovan decided he wants to run for President in order to advocate for those less fortunate and affect change that will lead to more equality and peace. When he found out that he cannot run until he is 36, he asked what he can do until then, so the family has spent the summer working on ways to help others. They thought about doing a lemonade stand, but we wanted to avoid anything too sugary. Since they already make our own fresh fruit popsicles, they decided this was their money maker. The boys clean, cut and mash the fruits to sell. Donovan saw a news report one night about the increase in calls to SAFE Shelter and the decrease in funding. He knew that we had to do something to help. They made and sold over 120 popsicles and donated $200 to SAFE Shelter.
The boys want to do something once a month to help organizations throughout the area. Their next focus will be to gather funds and supplies to give to the Stand Down for Homelessness with The Salvation Army occurring in September.
