9-year-old raises funds for his own adoption
Updated | By East Coast Drive
This is one of those stories. This is one brave, determined kid.

A little boy opened up a lemonade stand to raise legal fees to pay for his adoption.
Four years ago, Tristin Jacobson's biological mother dumped him on the doorstep of a Missouri shelter.
A woman by the name of Donnie Davis has been looking after him ever since.
9-year-old Tristin started a lemonade stand to pay for the legal fees for Donnie to adopt him.
The lemonade stand story went viral and was a resounding success, raising $14000, which is $9000 more than target.
The remainder will go towards Tristin's college education.
We love this story!
Well done, Tristin. You are a hero. You are a soldier.
