I love it when the next generation steps up and actively does something to help the planet be a better place.... and if the Westboro haters don't like it ...all the better. It prompted me to donate to the little girls fundraiser...

(4,713 posts)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.

"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.

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.
