Dalton, Bodie, and Ashley Capozza: Today's Helping Hands (4/21)

Meet 12-year-old Dalton, 6-year old Ashley, and 10-year old Bodie. Maybe you've seen them around. They live in Vernal and have parents who work in the oil industry. Last weekend they decided to set up a lemonade stand to raise some money for themselves. The boys got the stand all set up and were doing great. Then Ashley brought out some cookies to sell that she had made herself(with a little help from Grandma). When they finished up they had earned themselves a fortune, nearly $100. Makes me think I should set up a lemonade stand!!!

Well their mother Lisa heard about the fundraiser today at Covers and Camo. She linked to this blog and read about Josh and his sweet family. As she was telling her family about the Baumgartens, a decision was made, and not by Lisa. The kids said they wanted to share their money with the Baumgartens. They thought it would be a nice thing to do and so they called George at Covers and Camo, informing him they would be dropping off some money to add to his fundraising effort today.

I don't know about you but I think these are some special kids. Clearly they are being taught at a young age to open their hearts to others and serve in their own way, even if it is just sharing your lemonaide stand money. I had stopped by Covers and Camo to thank George for all he was doing and that is when this family showed up to drop off the money. They didn't plan on being recognized or having their picture taken. They just planned on dropping the money off and that was enough.

Thank you Dalton, Bodie, and Ashley for your great example to follow. I hope the rest of us can be more like you and find our own ways, big and small, to serve others in their time of need.

And remember to HONK! when you see George outside his shop. I hope you love drilling but even if you don't give him a HONK! for his kind generousity today in donating his sales to the Baumgarten family. Thanks George!!!
