A check for $34.25 fluttered to the ground. I ripped open another envelope. It was from a kid in Arkansas who put up a lemonade stand. $52.50 in bills and change tumbled out.

Lane and I put all the envelopes on the floor and started furiously ripping them open. There were about fifty of them. Some were simply addressed JUDSON MOON, MADISON, WISCONSIN.

Some of the letters were from kids who put up lemonade stands. Other kids had car washes, bake sales, or yard sales. Kids were actually selling their own toys to raise money for me!

With each letter was a check or a bunch of bills. The largest contribution was $103.

We counted up all the money and it came to $2,568.75. We felt like we had won the lottery.

“You’re a genius,” I told Lane.

“And you,” Lane said, clapping a hand on my back, “are becoming America’s hero.”
