This 7 year old girl has gumption

"Liza has always shown the initiative to step up and take part in helping with things around the house or at the bakery even when it’s not expected or asked," Elizabeth Scott said. After the 7-year-old suffered a grand mal seizure at the end of January, doctors at Children's of Alabama in Birmingham uncovered multiple cerebral malformations in her brain that need "immediate attention." The surgeries are to help prevent Liza from having any further seizures as well as possible brain bleeds, hemorrhages or strokes, according to her fundraising page.

For the past month, Liza has spent part of her days selling her homemade lemonade for 25 cents a cup. Already, the stand has raised anywhere from $15,000-$20,000 [to help pay for her surgery], her mom said.

It kind of goes along with the saying "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade".

Nothing quite says America like a 7 year old girl running a lemonade stand to pay for her vital brain surgery.

I hope she recovers fully.

Yep. This is the good aspect of the Horatio Alger ethos.
