Massachusetts shuts down 12-year-old’s ice cream stand supporting special needs kids

Quote

Danny Doherty, 12, and his mother, Nancy Doherty, began a small stand in their neighborhood with some profits going to a charity that hits close to home for them.

After only one week, they had to stop the sales of their homemade ice cream.

“I think the most disappointing part of that was that someone, one of our neighbors, somebody driving by, decided to take time to complain about a kid’s stand,” Nancy Doherty told Fox News Digital.

Half of all proceeds were donated to the Boston Bears Club, a special education hockey team for kids.

His 15-year-old brother, Patrick, who is autistic with moderate support needs, has been on the Boston Bear Club hockey team for 10 years, joining when he was 5 years old, Nancy Doherty said.

Nancy Doherty decided, instead of throwing away all the ice cream or trying to eat it all, that they would just give it away to friends and family while accepting donations to the Bears Club.

“We had so many people show up to support us, and we ran out of our ice cream in 10 minutes, but we raised about $1,000,” she said.

Whomever complained about a kid's ice cream stand to benefit special needs, should be ashamed of themselves.

Of course a state full of Red Sux fans did this sh*t. Shutting down an ice cream stand to benefit special needs. Shame on that damn state.

My parents use to do lemonade stands, but that was during a time when you didn't have to have permits.
