TAMPA, Fla., (WFLA) – A group of girls in Tampa spent their Saturday morning raising money to send to victims in Texas.

Emily Mifsud, Ellie Turner, Everly Turner, and Anna Mifsud have been deeply moved by the tragedies in Texas and expressed their eagerness to assist, particularly those connected with Camp Mystic.

“We are fundraising for the families in Texas affected by the flash flood at Camp Mystic, who tragically lost their children. Our aim is to collect as much financial support as possible to aid them,” Emily Mifsud explained.

The lemonade stand had a good turnout, with customer after customer showing up to help.

“There is a strong sense of compassion for the individuals in Texas, leading many to generously offer their help. Some even donate without purchasing lemonade,” noted Everly Turner.

“The girls really want to support the American Red Cross and Kerr County relief fund, where Camp Mystic is, so they can help send the money and hopefully have an impact on the Camp and those particular victims,” said Christine Turner, one of the mothers overseeing the stand.

The girls said they were already planning on doing a lemonade stand, but once they saw the devastating news out of Texas, they changed where all the donations were going.

“We know that the money we make is not going to make a huge impact, but we’re grateful we can make the little impact that we can,” Everly said.

“It feels good to know that we can help their families,” said Ellie.

The entire neighborhood came together to help make the lemonade stand happen.

“It really, of course, makes me so very proud and there was unanimous approval and enthusiasm from all the girls in the neighborhood to see what they could do to join the lemonade stand, bring cookies, and do whatever they could to help other people, especially families with little girls who have been tragic victims,” Christine said.

Each cup they sold helped to make a difference, even from states away.

Christine Turner said they plan to send all the money donated Saturday evening.
