This kid understands that if you want something bad enough…you need to work hard to get it

Ian Unger is 6 year old and lives in Sand Lake, Michigan and has diabetes.  He got some bad news that because he’s diabetic, he wasn’t going to be able to ride the school bus with the other kids.

It’s only because they wanted to make sure Ian would be safe – and they were worried because no one on the bus was trained to help Ian in case of emergencies.

Ian started searching for a solution. He decided to get a trained service dog who would watch over him and allow him to ride that bus…. but the service dogs cost $25,000.

So, he started planting pumpkin seeds with the hopes of raising pumpkins and selling them to raise money for the dog….and its working.

Ian has been selling them for either $5 or $10, depending on the size.  Lots of people are buying his pumpkins and some were just inspired by his determination and just sent him donations through his website.

Amazingly, he raised the full amount and is excited to get his service dog.
