Welcome to my website!

I am an 10-year-old kid who loves business and helping people out.

When I’m not in school, I volunteer at stores in my neighborhood and help them out with whatever they need.

I also run my own small businesses:

J’s Lemonade Stand (summer and spring)
J’s Hot Chocolate Stand (winter and fall)
I design and sell my own merch and then promote them with rap videos.

I always donate 30% of my profits to charity, like to Best Friends Animal Society or the Maui Wildfire Recovery. I also set up fundraisers where 100% goes to them. So far I have raised over $34,000 for charity.

My goal is to help end world hunger and homelessness by revolutionizing business.

My Businesses

My First Business Plan

I made it when I was 4. It says: “to sell and to give 30% to homeless”. That’s what I do now: I give 30% of all my profits to good causes, and some times 100%.
The J's DINR

During the pandemic when everyone was in lockdown and couldn’t go out to eat, I started “The J’s DINR”. It was a delivery-only restaurant that I ran from my home for people in my building and neighborhood.

Making Chocolate Zucchini Cake for my J’s DINR customers.
J's Lemonade

When I started selling lemonade, I used to squeeze 260 lemon halves. Little did I know that my little entrepreneurial brain would soon be growing…
Bobanade !

Soon I found out that people would be more likely to buy the lemonade if there was something special about it. So I added popping boba and called it Bobanade!
30% Goes to Charity

I always give 30% to charity, mostly animal rescue organizations, and I also give dogs free treats. I loooooooooove dogs. (And other animals too but not as much.)
J's Hot Chocolate

In the winter I switch to hot chocolate. Here is me making the hot chocolate. I got the 2 gallon thermos for my birthday from my Mom and Dad.
J's Hot Chocolate

It’s important to take Venmo. Many people don’t have cash on them.
J's Hot Chocolate

There is a regular menu with a list of toppings you can choose from. And there is a Businessman Menu with Special Drinks like “The Hangry”, “The Romance” or “The Influencer”.
Designing Business Materials

I spent all summer making a logo, a website, a business card, an updated resume, and many more business materials. I love doing that and get support from my Teacher Kelly.
Merch

I sell my merch online and at stands. I designed my own branded alphabet which I use in my designs.
Merch

For instance I designed a mug that says MUG! That way you’ll never forget what it is. It’s called “The Unplug and Chug Your Mug” mug. I also make raps about my merch items and what’s unique about them.

Giving to Charity

30% of Profits to Charity

Since I started making money when I was 4, I have always given 30% of my profits to charity. All people deserve a helping hand when they need it.
Animal Rescue

I love animals, especially dogs. I think dogs are not only man’s best friend, but man should be dog’s best friend too. I have given 30% of my profits to many animal rescue organizations.
Best Friends Animal Society

One of them is Best Friends Animal Society. I even went to visit their Sanctuary in Utah where they take good care of 1600 animals who were abandoned and neglected. There is Horse Haven, Piggy Paradise, Dog Town, Cat World, and so many more.
Special Fundraiser for Best Friends

In June 2023, I set up a special fundraiser for Best Friends Animal Society to help them even more. 100% of it goes to them so they can help more animals find loving homes.
My Friend Who Lost His Home and Uncle

This is Ryan. I met him on vacation in Maui. We became fast friends. He taught me about Hawaiian culture and lent me his fishing gear for free. When I heard he had lost his childhood home and uncle in the Maui wildfires, I knew what I could easily do to help him.
Lemonade Stand for Maui WildFire Victims

I did a lemonade stand and gave 100% to Maui wildfire victims and kept the GoFundMe open for donations. All proceeds went to my friend Ryan, a Maui local non-profit, and the Maui Humane Society to help pets that were lost or hurt in the fires.
Maui Wildfire Victims GoFundMe

After the lemonade stand I kept the GoFundMe for Maui victims open, and so far it has raised more than $13,000. It has helped my friend Ryan rebuild some of his life and have faith in people.
City Meals on Wheels

I learned about this organization that gives free meals to people who can’t go out of their homes. I decided I wanted to help because my big goal is to help solve word hunger and homelessness for people and animals. I know my goal is big and feels impossible. But I decided, who cares!? If you push through the boundaries you will find something that is worth your entire life.
Children's Hospital Program Fundraising Event

After my lemonade stand was robbed, a very kind lady emailed my Mom and asked if I wanted to come to a fundraising event where she worked and see how a big event is catered. I got to be the Auctioneer’s Assistant and help raise lots of money for hospital programs for children. I told the audience of 300 people: “I’m glued to this stage until I get at least a million dollars!”
Girl Scouts Visit to Best Friends

When my friends who are in the Girl Scouts said they wanted to donate some of their cookie sale profits to animals in need, I knew just the place for them! Together we went to the Best Friends Adoption Center where they met a lot of kittens and handed over their check to help animals find loving homes.

Volunteering at Local Businesses

The Fruit Stand

This is me and John, the owner of the fruit stand across the street. When I was 4 I asked him if I could help him. He said: “Where is your resume?” It was a joke but I made a resume anyway and gave it to him. When he saw it he said: “You’re hired!”
The Fruit Stand

For three years a few times a week I handed out bags to customers, restocked fruits and vegetables and swept the ground to keep the fruit stand nice and neat.
Casellula Cafe Internship

Jen, the owner of Caselulla Cheese & Wine Cafe, gave me an internship. She taught me all about how a restaurant is run. I handed out menus, decorated the tables, and selected music. She even appointed me as Maitre d’!
Casellula Cafe Internship

On “Mozzarella Monday” I helped the Chef prepare Mozzarella for customers.
67Gourmet

67Gourmet is one of my favorite places to volunteer at (and not just so I can snack cheese). It’s developed my palate in a sensational way.
67Gourmet

Meet my good pal Jonathan. I learn all my cheese mongering from him. He is always so nice to me. If you’re near him, definitely go and say hi, and try some cheese (I’m in love with the Meredith Dairy.)
Épices Bakery

I volunteer at Épices Bakery. I fold pastry boxes and give recommendations to the customers. Some times I ring up orders at the register.
Épices Bakery

At the end of my shift (30-40 minutes) I get to pick out baked goods. They give it to me for free. I gotta say: Those baguettes are the best!
