A preteen from California has already dedicated half of her life to helping the homeless in her area, raising thousands of dollars by hosting a lemonade stand every summer since she was 6 years old. Janelle Sagen, the mother of 12-year-old Jaelyn “J.J.” Sagen, told ABC News today that it all started when her daughter encountered a homeless man in 2010. Since then, J.J. has hosted a lemonade stand every year and to date has raised nearly $16,000 for We Care of Los Alimitos, a local charity that helps the homeless community and works to prevent homelessness in the area, Sagen said.
