I hope he treasures this moment especially Christmas morning with his own family and gifts as he thinks about ALL of those foster children getting gifts because of him and his thoughtfulness and caring

This kid is super inspirational but please tell me I'm not the only one who is curious about that $46,000 worth of popcorn sales he made?????

Yeah that’s insane. When I was a scout I was always at the top of the popcorn sales in my troop and in the too few in my county and I was around 2-3k spending like 6 hours a day going door to door selling. How the hell did this guy get that much?

Maybe he tapped into a large community church/organisation with lots of people, spread through word of mouth… maybe just a tight knit community? I imagine it wasn’t all door to door, maybe he utilised the internet in some way
