## Resource

This is the story of 6-year-old Payton Obert, whose simple lemonade stand grew into an annual fundraising phenomenon. What began as one small act of kindness has created a powerful ripple effect—raising more than $5 million dollars in support for children facing medical, personal, and economic hardships in the Cincinnati area and beyond. It’s a truly heartwarming tale of one little girl’s sparkling idea… and a classic example of American giving at its best: kids learning entrepreneurship, community, and generosity all at once. This episode explores what can happen when one person decides to act selflessly and from the heart. Join host Benjamin Trenerry and Epoch Times reporter Janice Hisle as they delve into this story.
