Berenice Pacheco lost her job during the lockdown and was unable to pay for her rent.
In a barn on the outskirts of the city, they had to move to the regret of the 30-year-old mother of three.There was only a street shower there. They went to the toilet in a nearby eatery. The shed was unbearably hot.The children didn’t even have a table to do their homework at.
Aaron, the 8-year-old son of the woman, always requested money for sweets. In reality, the woman’s part-time jobs provided only enough money for the necessities – to pay for her phone and laundry.Eventually, she joked that the boy might be able to find a side job, and she would help.He finally came to the conclusion that he would drive to the wholesale flower market in the mornings and then sell the succulents near his house for more money.
His mother gave him the last 12 dollars after hearing about his idea.Using this money, he bought 8 small plants and sold them for $16 each. As a result, he started investing all the profits in new plants constantly.Everything went smoothly. The boy’s story spread. Local newspapers wrote about him after his mother created an Instagram page for him.Adults drove across the city to buy from the boy, and many left generous tips. There are now 26,000 followers on Aaron’s Instagram account.
Using his savings, the boy bought his mother a car two months ago.Additionally, they helped him open a crowdfunding campaign, and Aaron collected 37 thousand dollars.In early November, the family bought a small apartment with this money. A normal kitchen, a bathroom, and a lesson table have been long awaited by the children.
