Stories connect us, change us, and inspire us to do more and be better. Stories often give us an opportunity to assess our current circumstances and can validate both our triumphs as well as our tribulations and also provide us a template of sorts so we can reframe if needed and turn the lemons in our life into lemonade.The ability to change a negative into a positive, to turn lemons into lemonade, and to then share that recipe with the world to prevent others from suffering is one of the most beautiful things a person can do.

The 20 storytellers in Lemonade Stand Volume III are full of heart and the definition of true heroes.

The mental pain of PTSD, anxiety, and depression have plagued their communities. Pushing it to the side or denying it exists is not a sound solution.
