Tell Me Something Good: Mom Uses Her Last $12 To Invest In 8 Year Old Son’s Business Venture

Tell Me Something Good: Mom Uses Her Last $12 To Invest In 8 Year Old Son’s Business Venture

This story is not only a good one, but also a lesson to kids everywhere on the power of starting your own business.

A single mom out in L.A. lost her job because of the pandemic and only had $12 left to her name.  So she decided to invest it in her eight-year-old son Aaron’s idea to start a business selling plants.  He calls it “Aaron’s Garden,” and it really stared to take off after he blew up on Instagram.  Someone also started a GoFundMe page for the family which raised over $25,000.

Such a cute story. Hopefully this will be their new family business for years to come.
