Kind-hearted siblings stand up for our farmers

TWO kind-hearted Barwon Heads siblings are selling homemade lemonade to help raise money for farmers affected by the drought.

Charles and Grace Hill have already raised an impressive $876.85 from their Lemon-Aid Our Farmers stand, which will be donated to the Buy A Bale campaign.

The duo set up shop at the Barwon Grove Golf Club aka The Tin Shed on Sunday, which raised $361.45, before the Tin Shed matched their fundraising efforts to take their total to $722.90.

Charles, 7, and Grace, 6, then moved their stand to APCO in Barwon Heads after school on Monday, which raised another $153.95.

Charles said: “We didn’t want them to go through it by themselves. By helping the farmers, we hope to make them happy and also us”.

The Lemon-Aid Our Farmers stand will be at APCO every Wednesday after school from next week until the end of September, and potentially while the charity continues.

Mum Jessica said she was in the process of creating a Facebook page dedicated to the kids’ fundraiser, where she would update the community on where the stand would pop up next.

“A humble little project is getting a little exciting,” Jessica said.
