A Lafayette boy is asking for a little help after making a big difference in his community.

Oliver Perry has been raising money for first responders for three years. The Ollie Shop lemonade stand sets up in the days prior to 9/11 to raise money to feed first responders.

In 2016, Olliver Perry started his mission to honor first responders with a thank you lunch.

That day, over 100 first-responders were treated to a meal on September 11th thanks to his lemonade stand.
