It really shows how hateful (if you didn't know already) those nutjobs are that they would try to sabotage a kids lemonade stand. Disgusting creatures.

Yet they do give us a contrasting point of view ... which helps us see goodness such as this young girl very well. Opposites looking across the street at each other can't be more striking.

Welcome to the D.U. btw.

To donate to Jayden's fundraiser, visit:

"Jayden is 5 1/2 years old. She was having a lemonade stand for charity and they are saying nasty things," he said. "I pity them. It's sad they feel that way. We're not angry at them. We don't hate them. We feel bad for them. We know this comes from a very painful place and that's why they're lashing out. And it's unfortunate."

In addition to Equality House, Planting Peace runs orphanages, has helped treat 14 million for intestinal parasites, helped preserve 600 acres of rainforest and planted trees in earthquake-damaged Haiti.

The money will be used for an anti-bullying program in Topeka as well as a national effort to educate children about the devastating effects of bullying.

I figured if anyone wanted to contribute they would find it in the article I linked too... but this is good also.

She started out with a goal of $500.00 and she is over $18,000 now. About a $1,000 more than when I sent her campaign my contribution.
