Inspired by this awesome 11 year-old girl who hosted a lemonade stand on our street corner, with all proceeds benefiting Women Helping Women of SW Ohio. She started the day about halfway to her goal of $1,000, and finished at almost $1,500. She even got a surprise visit from WHW CEO Kristin S. Shrimplin who stopped by to check out the action! #girlpower #takeaction #womenhelpingwomen #allyship
