After losing both of her jobs and having no other means of support, the single mother of three was forced to move her family into a shed. Eight-year-old Aaron knew his family was having trouble, so he offered to assist, and his choice ultimately rescued them.
Unpredictability is a common feature of life. We never know what tomorrow will bring, so even when we think there is no way out, we should never give up hope that things may improve.
We learn this lesson via the tale of 8-year-old Aaron Moreno, who had great aspirations.
It came out that while this intelligent boy’s favourite food was Cheetos and ice cream, his mother struggled to support the family. Because she was unemployed, living alone with her kids, and hardly had enough money to buy them ice cream, she would become so emotional every time the ice cream truck would come by the shed where they were living.
Aaron’s mother, Berenice Pacheco, told CNN, “This kid was always asking for Hot Cheetos when I lost both of my jobs in March due to the coronavirus pandemic and we had no choice but to live in a shed.” “It’s only $3, but it can make a big difference when you don’t have a job and you have kids.”
Upon witnessing his mother’s struggles, Aaron resolved to make every effort to assist her. In addition, he desired for his family to leave the shed, which lacked air conditioning, a bathroom or a bedroom.
Aaron decided to buy succulents and market them with the remaining $12 his mother had.
Aaron told CNN, “I wasn’t happy that our shed was hot and crowded.” “I started my garden because I don’t like to see my mum struggle and I want to relieve some of her stress.”
Aaron was able to sell everything on the first day. Having yet to make much money, he tried to launch a company by investing more succulents. He and his mother would ride the bus to the flower area to get the items they would need for the day. They used to sell mainly from their shed, but now and then, they set up pop-up stores.
Berenice posted pictures of her kid and his garden on Facebook, showing off his hard work. After seeing the photographs, a friend created a GoFundMe campaign to support the family, attracting much attention.
The first target was $1,000. They raised around $56,000, which is plenty for a new location.
They could also send Aaron’s sister back home from Mexico with the money.
“Bringing his sister back is the best thing Aaron has done for us,” Berenice remarked. “We are a whole family again, and not having her was so difficult. And even though they were away for a long time, I was thrilled to find they still had this incredible closeness. It truly is a blessing.
The succulent business is expanding rapidly because of Aaron’s diligence and tenacity in raising his family. He’s offering more varieties of flowers now. How considerate a young guy he is.
