While a Downriver boy hasn’t even started first grade yet, he’s already making a huge difference in his community. He is using proceeds from his pop-up lemonade stand to raise money for the Wyandotte Animal Shelter.

One Macomb County girl did something special for her birthday to make a huge difference in the lives of countless pets.

The Badaoui family, who lives in Dearborn, Michigan, ended up hosting that lemonade stand -- but it wasn’t so little. Mustapha Badaoui was putting it into terms his 4-year-old daughter Fatima, who goes by the nickname Fufu, could understand. “We were saying people were hurt, they lost their stuff, and (Fatima) says, ‘Why don’t we help the people in Lebanon?’” Mustapha Badaoui recalled. In addition to Fufu, the Badaoui family has two other children, ages 2 and 1. “I haven’t told her that she won’t make this much in the future just yet,” Mustapha Badaoui responded with a laugh.

DETROIT Country Time is preparing to send stimulus checks to children who cant run their lemonade stands this summer because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The company has created the Littlest Bailout Relief Fund to put a little juice back into the economy.Parents of children 14 or younger can apply through Aug. 12 on CountryTimebailout.com for a chance to win $100 in the form of a pre-paid Visa gift card. Theres also a commemorative check. Each household is limited to one entry, and 1,000 winners will be chosen at random, the company said.
