9-Year-old's Lemonade Stand Raises $2,000 For Shelter Cats After He Saw They Had No Toys
9-year-old Ben Miller brought a big bag of cash to his local animal shelter, handing over $1,150 that he'd raised at a lemonade stand.

A 9-year-old boy walked into his local animal shelter with a big plastic bag filled with cash, handing over all the proceeds he'd raised at a lemonade stand.

Ben Miller from Boise, Idaho, collected a whopping $1,150 in one weekend.

It was his third lemonade stand fundraiser since 2019, a year when he was visiting the Idaho Humane Society with his grandmother and noticed that some of the cats didn't have toys.

So far, he's donated a grand total $1,950 to support the cats he loves so much.

His mother helped him create an event on Facebook, which brought in people from across the valley. People also sent money without even visiting to get a drink.

"It was such a fun day meeting so many awesome people and their pets. We had a car full of people pull up saying they had just heard about it on the radio," said Amy Miller on Facebook. And the highlight that topped off the day was Ben's teacher coming by.

Ben says he has no plans to stop his charity work for the shelter, which makes his mother beam, even though she says he's always had a big heart. "It really just blew me away."
