In Wilmington, North Carolina, ten-year-old Jamie Parker is a shining example of compassion and initiative. This remarkable kid decided to mow lawns to cover the costs of his school supplies and clothing. As many parents with school-age children know, those back-to-school supply lists can quickly add up.
Jamie’s mother, Lisa Parker, was impressed by her son’s determination and shared his lawn care service on a local Facebook group. The post stated, “I am a ten-year-old boy looking for yard work to help raise money to buy my own school supplies.”
“It comes from just trying to help my mommy, help her with bills, and buy my own supplies,” Jamie told local news station WWAY. What a fantastic display of hustle and heart! Kudos to Lisa for raising such an incredible young man. She truly deserves recognition, especially given the challenges she’s faced recently.
Lisa has encountered financial difficulties, particularly after having to take time off work to care for her brother following an accident. Stepping up to support his family, Jamie began mowing lawns to fund his educational needs. As his story spread, it inspired a community outpouring of support.
One notable supporter, local entrepreneur Mary Johnson, who runs a security service in Wilmington, began a donation drive at her business after hearing about Jamie’s efforts. The community came together to provide not only school supplies but also clothing and lawn equipment for Jamie. His older sibling, Alex, also received generous donations. With so many items received, Jamie decided to share the extras with other kids who are in need.
“Jamie has always been the kind of person who wants to give back,” Lisa shared with WWAY. “It’s a blessing that he can now help others after receiving kindness himself.”
