Faperture Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Young Drew Cox knows how to make lemonade out of lemons – and then some.The 6-year-old Gladewater, Texas, boy reportedly took in more than $10,000 in one day at a lemonade stand he set up to raise money for his sick dad.Randy Cox was reportedly diagnosed with seminoma earlier this year. That’s typically a type of testicular cancer, but in Cox’s case it’s non-testicular and tumors appeared in his chest and elsewhere in his body, colleagues say. The condition is treatable with chemotherapy.Drew said he felt sad and wanted to help his father with medical bills.“He is so important to me. We like to play with each other. Lots of times we like to play games," Drew told a local television station.Randy Cox says he has medical insurance but still will have to pay thousands of dollars in medical costs out of pocket.Drew opened his stand for business outside his home on Saturday morning, charging 25 cents a cup. Word of his benevolent venture spread quickly, with some customers coming from dozens of miles away. One person wrote a $5,000 check and by the end of the day, Drew raised more than $10,000.http://www.mega949.c...rticle=10058935Pretty cool that there are still good people left in the world.
