What would you do for someone you love? I think we'd all vehemently say that we'd do anything and everything.
For example, take Lorraine, who stayed with her husband Don even after he was diagnosed with ALS and could no loner walk or communicate.
Or maybe you can relate more to Greg, a single dad who went to beauty school just to learn how to do his daughter's hair!
Then there's Na'ama, a 5-year-old girl who loves her 7-year-old brother, Nadav, who has Angelman syndrome.
How do you proactively help someone you love when you're so young? We could tell Na'ama to leave it up to her parents, but we all know we feel much better when we feel like we're doing all that we personally can to help.
That's what Na'ama did when she decided to help. She help Nadav's cause financially — and so she did in the way a kid knows best: She started a lemonade stand.
Na'ama hoped to raise $100 to donate for a cure for Angelman syndrome…but what ended up happening was nothing short of miraculous! Na'ama is an inspiration to us all.
See her story below and SHARE to spread awareness of Angelman syndrome.
Meet 5-Year-Old Na'ama Uzan. She lives in Toronto, Canada and loves her 7-year-old brother, Nadav.
This is Na'ama's lemonade stand. When she learned that her brother was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, a rare disability that makes it difficult for her brother to walk or speak, she wanted to help.
This is Nadav. Clearly the two siblings share a deep, special bond!
"I'm doing it because I want to support a cure for Angelman syndrome," Na'ama said.
Since starting the lemonade stand, Na'ama has raised approximately $25,000 toward finding a cure for Angelman syndrome.
Inspired by Na'ama's efforts, in California, David Low and his partner, whose son also has Angelman syndrome, has raised $20,000.
"The technology and therapies will be there to help these individuals and the only way that hope is going to be fulfilled is through the efforts like people like Na'ama and her family who inspire others to give," Low said.
Though her goal was modest, to raise $100, she has exceeded any and all expectations. Just check out Na'ama's face when she found out she had raised so much!
