Jaelyn Sagen

This little girl takes homelessness to heart.

Jaelyn Sagen never imagined there were people living in her own community who faced homelessness. Though hard to understand at first, this six year old girl decided to do something about it. She set up a lemonade stand to “help people buy homes in our community.” With the help of her mom she hung signs throughout the neighborhood and sent out emails to over 300 people.

Congratulations on setting and achieving such an ambitious goal and making a difference in our community.
