3 Girls Turn Lemonade into Supplies for Animals

Our parent organization HART received this story via email about 3 fantastic girls who worked together to raise money to help animals in need.


Dear HART Animal Relief,

One day my friends and I got together to make a lemonade stand. We weren’t so sure what to do with the money so we decided to give our first donation of $50 to the Sick Kids Hospital. We felt very proud of what we had done so the next week we decided to have another lemonade stand. The reason for this is because we have been noticing many lost pet signs, and we would feel very sad if our pets went missing so we decided to raise money to give to your animal shelter. We choose your animal shelter because my grandmother recently told us that you ran strictly on donations and we would not like it if our pets got lost and had to go to an animal shelter that could not afford the proper treatment. So we decided to help you to buy more supplies to help out those sick, injured or lost pets. We sold each glass of lemonade for 25 cents and ended up raising $60.

Sincerely,
Nicole, Jessica, Ricki
