Emouree Johnson, from Scottsboro, Alabama, began selling lemonade last week and has quickly raised nearly $10,000 following an outpouring of support from her local community, WHNT reported.
“I didn’t know just making a little lemonade would bring this many people to my house,” Emouree told WHNT. “It’s fun, but it’s unbelievable at the same time.”
Emouree's grandmother, Jennifer Bordner told WAFF the second grader came up with the idea all on her own.
“Emouree is so special if you haven’t figured it out. She’s the kid that will.. if this lady over here is hurt, she’ll take something to help her,” Bordner told WAFF.
Bordner told WHNT that after neighbors started stopping by to pick up an "Emouree Special" after seeing a post online about her lemonade stand.
WAFF reported that on Friday afternoon, neighbors, firefighters, nurses and deputies stopped by for a cup of lemonade. Despite only costing $1, many generously gave more, with a few even offering $100 bills.
