A YOUNG GIRL RAISED NEARLY $10, 000 TO BUT HER MOTHER'S HEADSTONE. (PHOTO).


 A young girl raised nearly $10,000 to buy her mother's headstone.


7-year-old Emouree Johnson's mother sadly passed away unexpectedly in March. When the family was having difficulties paying for all the funerary expenses, Emouree decided to do something to help.


She came up with the idea of having a lemonade stand in an attempt to raise enough money to buy her mother's tombstone.


After school Friday, Emouree set up the stand and opened for business and her community would not let her down. As word spread on social media of this selfless little girl, people began to flock to the stand. On many occasions her customers paid $100 for a glass of lemonade in an amazing display of generosity. 


At the end of the day Emouree had raised nearly $10,000 for her mother's tombstone.


However once local monument companies became aware of Emouree's dedication to her mother they came forward to donate a tombstone. 


Now this money can be used for the countless other expenses that arise when a loved one is lost unexpectedly and hopefully some is used to buy this amazing little girl something very special.


I love when I hear stories of social media being used in such a positive way and seeing communities supporting one another.
