An 8-year-old boy changed his family’s fortune when a neighbor saw him selling flowers on the streets of Los Angeles.

Wendy Rodriguez, a Boyle Heights resident, not only bought every single bunch of flowers in the boy’s possession, but she also started a campaign to raise funds for him and his struggling father: over US$40,000 in total.
