Grayson, a nine-year-old boy, set up a lemonade stand to help raise funds to help see the world for the last time. The boy was born blind and wanted a chance to travel before he lost his sight completely. One person was touched by Grayson's story and pulled all the stops to make his dream a reality.

A nine-year-old boy named Grayson set up a lemonade stand to help achieve his traveling dreams. The boy was born blind and wanted an opportunity to see the world before he completely lost his vision.

Grayson started by setting up a lemonade stand in front of his house. At first, he was not making that many sales until Charlie, the founder of the Dream Machine Foundation, which specializes in helping people and communities raise money to reach their goals, showed up.

When Charlie saw the lemonade stand, he was impressed to see that a nine-year-old boy was running it, so he stopped and recorded himself reading Grayson's sign and what he wanted to achieve with the money he raised from his sales.

The sign explained, "Hi, my name is Grayson. I am 9 years old and I was born blind but I do not let that stop me from doing everything you can." It also mentioned that he loved music and traveling.

Immediately Charlie was touched by the boy's sign and wanted to help him make more sales. But first, he offered to buy a lemonade for himself. Right after Charlie bought his lemonade, the young boy could not help but praise his own product, "It is perfect for a hot day, isn't it?" he said proudly.

According to reports, Grayson wanted to see the world one last time because he was about to lose sight completely. He has also undergone 33 surgeries, but he is willing to do everything to live a joyful life, and Charlie wanted as many people as possible to come together and help make his dream a reality.

How Did Charlie Help Grayson Reach His Goal?

After purchasing his lemonade, Charlie realized the stand needed to get more attention. He offered to help, and he and Grayson went straight to work and started handing out flyers.

A line started forming in no time, and more sales were made. Grayson could not believe he was a businessman with a successful stand. Although Charlie loved that he was able to help the nine-year-old sell more lemonade, he wanted to do more and truly make his dreams come to fruition.

He used his business and announced that they would be hosting a lemonade event at the Dream factory in Los Angeles on Friday, and urged everyone to support and make Grayson's dream come true.

Charlie also featured Grayson in the announcement video, where he was seen excitedly saying, "We are gonna have a lemonade stand at the Dream Factory on Friday with the whole dream team!"

The dream team said lemonade cups would be selling for $2, and all the proceeds from the event would go towards getting Grayson to see the world.

For those who might not be able to attend the event or are not in the Los Angeles area, there is also a fundraising page on the Dream Machine website where people can donate.

We wish Grayson all the success on his big lemonade event and hope he gets to travel, see the world, and that every destination is just as beautiful as he imagined.

Here is a story about a 12-year-old boy who raised money to buy his late best friend a headstone before Christmas.
