The Garbage Kids
Donation protected
My name is Aj and I just turned 13 this past Saturday
I asked my mom if I could get a summer job because I wanted to raise money by my birthday so I could buy clothes shoes and sports equipment for other kids in need and didn’t have have the same opportunities as me or supportive parents like me … but she said no one would hire me because I’m too young
So I started my own small business washing garbage cans in my neighborhood hence the name The Garbage Kid
I created a business plan and asked my mom for help and she let me make a post in our neighborhood fb group . Once I had a few customers I made a Facebook page so they could leave me reviews and I could post before and after pictures
I made a post and @Grizzyhoodnews shared it ! I didn’t expect that to happen or much less it go viral .
Im so thankful and feel extremely blessed for all the support .
I have a goal and big plans to reach and want to be able to not only give back to other kids but most importantly inspire and help other kids to start their own garbage businesses just like me .
I will make that happen with or without donations by working hard every washing as many garbage cans until I reach my goal.
Bur if you want to help me and other kids like me then I will be very thankful
Thank you -AJ ( The Garbage Kid)
