Kid Selling Lemonade Makes $$ For Freedom Cause Among Insults From The Westboro Baptists

A little girl decided to fight the hatred being spread by the Westboro Baptist Church by setting up a lemonade stand across the street and raising money to promote peace instead.

Jayden Sink, five, is the daughter of Jon Sink, who set up charity arts group FRESHCASSETTE. She raised around $1,000 despite the efforts of the Westboro Baptist church to shut her down by calling the police and yelling abuse.  

Jayden decided to sell pink lemonade on Friday outside The Equality House which sits across the street from Westboro Baptist Church headquarters in Topeka, Kansas. 

Along with the help of her dad and volunteers, Jayden sold lemonade by the bucket load all day as the local community came out in droves to support her message of peace.  

One group of soldiers from nearby Fort Riley military base stopped by on their motorbikes to show their support.

 

The five-year-old made a plan to sell lemonade after her parents explained to her why the Equality House is so important.

 

The property was bought last year by Planting Peace charity founder Aaron Jackson, 31, and in March it was painted with the colors of the pride flag.
