Boy's Hot Chocolate Stand Raises Money For Tsunami Victims

POSTED: 8:08 am EST December 31, 2004

SAMMAMISH, Wash. -- An 11-year-old boy is raising money for tsunami victims by selling hot chocolate.

Thomas Wilson said he was walking around the block, wishing he could do something to help, when he got the idea. He said, "As a Christian myself, I feel that God wanted me to do this."

So on Wednesday, he, his brother, two sisters and a couple of friends braved a steady rain, stood alongside a road in suburban Seattle with their laminated "Hot Chocolate for Tidal Wave Relief!" sign and raised $225. He said some people gave them $20 bills and said, "Keep the change."

Wilson, who's home-schooled, said he and his friends hope to sell more hot chocolate Friday and then donate the money they raise to World Vision.
