The Lawnmower Project

Lawn N Order is off to a fast start. Ethan mowed 5 yards this week!

From one of the kids’ mom:

Jason will also email you but I wanted let you know how much I appreciate this experience for Jason. It's been difficult getting customers but he didn't give up. He's made about $400 which was great for him but that wasn't the most important part.

His first customer was a lady in the neighborhood that he was unsure about when he was younger. She asked him to start doing her lawn for $20 a week. The first couple of times she seemed strict but after a few weeks they became friends. She made him laugh and smile that was not easy to do. Jason was very close with his grandmother that died 2 years ago. The neighborhood lady did not replace his grandma but it was nice having a grandma type around.

Unfortunately the neighborhood lady passed away suddenly a few weeks ago. It mad him sad but he was so glad he got to know her before she passed away. She knew she was dying but nobody else knew. That experience was priceless for him.

Also it taught him independence and he loved making his own money to go out with his friends.

He will continue to do this next year. Thank you for giving him this experience.

Lawn & Order is off to a fast start. Dominique has already secured FOUR customers and made $180! And this is before we even printed this flyer…that she created.

Had five more kids for orientation today. With nine companies total, this is shaping up to be The Lawnmower Project’s biggest year yet.
