If you didn\u2019t get a chance to stop by Brick 7-year-old David Torres\u2019 home two weeks ago to help him on his goal to raise $1,000 for the K. Hovnanian Children\u2019s Hospital, you\u2019ll have another chance Saturday.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago, David came up with the idea to host a lemonade stand at his family\u2019s home after learning about helping others during the Brick school district\u2019s recent \u201cWeek of Respect.\u201d He sold lemonade, hot chocolate, cookies and donuts, with the final tally on donations adding up to about $825, his mother, Kristina Torres, said.<\/p>\n

Thanks to an offer from his Taekwondo instructor, David will reopen the lemonade stand in a more public place this weekend to finish what he started.<\/p>\n

David\u2019s stand this weekend will be set up from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, at the US Taekwondo Center at Drum Point Plaza, 339 Brick Boulevard. All of the proceeds will go to the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband and I\u00a0had nothing do with this,\u201d Kristina Torres said before the first stand David opened. \u201cWe were completely thrown off when he approached with the idea to do this, but we couldn\u2019t be more proud of him. He may be small, but he has the biggest heart out of anyone I know. He is always interested in helping others in need.\u201d<\/p>\n

David plans on bringing his donation to the hospital on Sunday so he can meet some of the young patients his work will help.<\/p>\n
