Pouring Into Her Future: Mom & Daughter Lemonade Stand

Donation protected
Support a 6-Year-Old Black & Native American Girl’s Lemonade Stand Dream ✨

Hello friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

My name is Brittany, and I’m a single mother of two. Currently working two jobs to support my beautiful, ambitious 6-year-old daughter and my wonderful and rambunctious 9-month-old son. Lotus is a Black and Native American little girl with a big heart and even bigger dreams. One being to open her very own lemonade stand business.

While many kids are playing pretend, she’s talking about customers, flavors, and how to make people smile. I want to nurture that spark in her and help her build something real — something that will teach her about business, responsibility, independence, and pride in her culture and work.

But we need your help.

We’re raising $1,000 to cover:
• Supplies (lemons, cups, sugar, signage, etc.)
• Marketing (flyers, social media, basic promo materials)
• ️ Renting space for her stand
• ️ Building a safe, sturdy, fun stand just for her

This isn’t just a summer activity — this is the foundation for her future. I want her to grow up knowing she can build something from the ground up, that she can own her power, and that her community believes in her as much as I do.
What sets us apart from other lemonade stands?
We make Health-ade!
At our customers' request, we have organic herbs and spices available to add in for a supercharged refreshing beverage that your body will thank you for!

And here’s my honest truth:

We’ve seen communities come together and raise nearly half a million dollars for a woman with a documented history of racism — all in support of a moment involving a child who made a mistake. I challenge my community to do the same, but this time, to support a young Black and Native American girl trying to build something beautiful and real — not fix a moment of harm.

Your donation — no matter how small — will show her that people care, that dreams matter, and that she is seen and supported.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
With love and gratitude,
Brittany and Lotus
