After learning about the devastating wildfires in Hawaii, five-year-old Edison "Eddie" Juel brainstormed ideas with his mom, Ami, to help the victims. 

They settled on a lemonade stand. 

And, thanks to Eddie's parents' jobs matching his profits, the determined boy raised over $17,000 for Lahaina, Hawaii, after a week of selling lemonade.

  • Even though Eddie sold each cup for only $1, most buyers would donate anywhere between $5-50 to the cause. 
  • "Most people were like, 'this is so cool. What a great idea. We've been looking for ways to help. We felt so helpless and didn't know where to donate,'" Ami shared with USA Today. "A lot of people came by and stopped and told us like their story of a trip to Hawaii or some connection they had to the island."
