September 4, 2024
Today's good news story comes from Salt Lake City, Utah.
Country star Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, made a big impact on a small group of young entrepreneurs in Salt Lake City.
While passing through West Valley, he spotted a lemonade stand run by a group of kids and decided to stop and support their efforts.

The kids were selling lemonade for 50 cents a cup, and when Jelly Roll ordered five drinks for everyone in his car, the total came to just $2.50. But instead of handing over a few dollars, the generous musician gave the children nearly $700 and told them to keep the change.
In a video captured during the moment, Jelly Roll can be heard telling the kids, "You keep that tip, okay baby? You go buy you something really nice, alright, because you worked hard."
The children were visibly thrilled and shocked by the unexpected act of kindness.
Wendy Gardunio, the mother of one of the children, shared her excitement on social media, posting photos of her daughter and her cousins with the singer.
"Who would have thought that we would run into Jelly Roll in West Valley? And for him to be so generous with giving them almost $700," she wrote, expressing her gratitude and amazement.
What others are saying:
"This is the way celebrities should act. Thank you for being kind to the kids!"
"This was so sweet Jelly....you just made a huge impression on that little girl. And someday she's going to pay it forward because of what you did. Thank you and God Bless you!"
"Look at her face. Just look at that smile. What precious moment for her and her family."
