Finding Ways to Help

Hi, I’m Zack! Some people can’t walk and don’t have enough money to buy a wheelchair. Sometimes they can’t go to school or have a job. Other people ignore them or look down on them. When I found out about that, I wanted to help!

A Cool Idea

When I was six, my school decided to raise money to buy 13 wheelchairs. I thought it was a really cool idea. I came home and talked my mom into having a lemonade stand to earn money to help.

Cookies and Lemonade

My family and I made lots of cookies to sell with the lemonade. We earned enough to buy one whole wheelchair.

Zack’s Shack

I decided to keep my lemonade stand going. I call it Zack’s Shack. The third year I did it, our family and friends helped us make 460 dozen cookies. People heard about it on Facebook, and about 500 people came. Afterward I felt the Spirit tell me we had done well.

Why He Helps

I heard about a woman who was born with no legs. She crawled five miles with her baby on her back to get her new wheelchair. I feel good inside each time I sell a cookie or lemonade because I know it’s helping someone.
