An 11-year-old boy who approached a stranger for a summer lawn mowing job received an even bigger reward for his work ethic: tools to start his own lawn business.
Q'yaron Gadson, 11, was surprised last Friday with a brand new lawnmower, weedeater and the gas needed to fuel them.
The surprise gifts were orchestrated by Bobby and Kimi West, the owners of Grasshoppers Lawn Care in Dunn, North Carolina.
Bobby was mowing a lawn in nearby Fayetteville earlier this month when Q’yaron approached him on his bicycle.
"He came up and asked me, 'Sir, if I have experience by this summer would you hire me?'" West recalled. "I told him that, to be honest, my 15-year-old son is going to be helping me this summer."
