Policeman stops at lemonade stand and returns the next day with more officers

Getting the attention of a police officer usually warrants the feeling of nervousness and discomfort. Usually, when the police are involved it means you did something wrong or are thought to have done something wrong. However, there are some instances when the police being involved is nothing short of amazing. This story is the exact example of how police involvement can be wonderful and positive, they do not just pull people over or arrest people for doing illegal things. As honored members of society, these police officers try to do good every day, especially while in their uniform as they know what they are representing. Young Gabrielle Garcar was not comfortable around the police as she had minimal interaction with them and saw how others reacted to their presence but her opinion was shifted when she started selling lemonade in order to pay for a gadget that she wanted but her family could not afford to buy for her. The work that this little girl was willing to put in in order to earn enough money is inspirational.

Moving

Melissa Garcar of Lake County, Ohio is the proud mom of 9-year-old Gabrielle. Melissa, her husband, and their two younger children moved to Lake County in order to better their family’s quality of life.

Lake County had a low crime rate and was in a fantastic school district, all of which meant that the family never had to deal with the cops in any way. Gabrielle would change all that for her mom in an unpredictable way.

All for a game

Young Gabrielle wanted a gaming system for herself to enjoy, but when she asked her parents they explained to her that they did not have the funds to cover that for her. Instead of being upset, Gabrielle got determined. Gabrielle had seen her parents work hard for everything they have, so she decided to earn the money for the game instead.

So what does a young girl of 9 do to make money? It is not like she could go out there and get a job at her young age. Luckily, Gabrielle is savvy and figured out what she needed to do.

Hard work and determination

Gabrielle had the brilliant idea of opening up her own lemonade stand to earn the money necessary for her gaming system. Her parents were very much behind her decision as it would teach Gabrielle exactly how hard one needs to work to earn enough for something that they want.

Gabrielle was also very sweet and Melissa was certain that she would easily charm those who came by. The only problem was that they lived in a rural area and there was not much foot traffic. Melissa did not want Gabrielle’s plan to fail so she decided to hatch a plan with her daughter.

Lemonade stand

Due to the fact that their home was in a rural area, they decided to use Gabrielle’s grandmother’s apartment location as the perfect spot for the lemonade stand as she lives in a more central part of town and there are many folks who come by.

Gabrielle took the initiative very seriously and got everything she needed for her stand – cups, table cloths, made signs to attract customers, and made the lemonade she has made many times with her mother. It did not take very long for her stand to be a hit and have more people than she knew how to handle.
