11-year-old Ness Partouche-Massa and 8-year-old Ariel Partouche-Massa have been working to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
For the second straight weekend, they were selling lemonade on the front lawn of their home on 14th Street in Roxboro.
“If we give a bunch of money to the charity, we can find the cure for multiple sclerosis,” Ness told Global News.
The cause is very close to the hearts of both boys, because their mother Ayana Massa was diagnosed with the degenerative disease in 2020. She relies on a walker and a wheelchair to get around.
“Every day is a fight, but having this kind of kids, how do I not fight for them?” Ayana said.
