Kid Troy is a middle schooler with a big dream, and together with his dad, he started a lemonade stand that quickly became a local favorite. Their original lemonade recipe was so popular that they decided to take it to market, pouring their hearts—and the dad’s retirement savings—into making this dream a reality. They found a beverage consultant and a manufacturer to help them produce the lemonade on a larger scale, hoping to share their special drink with even more people.

But when it came time to get their product into stores, everything changed. The beverage company they trusted ruined the first batch of lemonade, failing to deliver the quality that their community had come to know and love. Worse still, the company stopped responding to calls and emails, leaving Kid Troy and his dad with nothing but wasted product and empty savings. Their dream of seeing their lemonade on store shelves was suddenly out of reach, and they were left to pick up the pieces.

Now, Kid Troy and his dad are determined to rebuild. The funds raised will help them pursue the companies that wronged them, reproduce the thousands of gallons of lemonade that were lost, and bring awareness to other small businesses about the dangers of predatory companies. By supporting this fundraiser, you’re not just helping a father and son get back on their feet—you’re standing up for all small entrepreneurs who deserve a fair shot. Kid Troy’s brand would like to thank every donor for their hard-earned funds and efforts to help prevent this from happening to anyone else. Thank you!
