Aloha! I’m Nainoa and I wrote a chapter in this book with my Mom. We live in Hawaii, where it can be hot with tropical rain during the Christmas season as you will read in our Chapter 15! Let me share the reason for writing this story.

For over six years, I’ve been selling lemonade on the weekends and during school breaks. I earned my own money for things I wanted to buy. At age 10, my parents asked if I wanted to raise money for children’s charities.

My first year I raised over $1000 for Toys for Tots. My second year I raised over $4000 for Shriner’s Hospital and got an engraved brick in my Grandma’s honor to put in grounds at the hospital. During 2022, I raised over $19,000 for Make-A-Wish Hawaii.*

Kids helping kids. Simply the best!
