Matt’s Idea
Matt’s original plan was to get money for a lawnmower. That way, Chauncy could earn money in the summer by cutting people’s lawns. That might also give him a bit of money when he started school again in the fall.
Growing
The money poured in while Matt’s Facebook page worked overtime to get more traffic. This story went viral fast, and the GoFundMe page exceeded everyone’s expectations. Total strangers gave to Chauncy and his mom, and that included things like jobs, food, clothing, and dental care.
