A pair of young entrepreneurs have received much praise across the Whitsunday community after giving their piggy banks a boost with a delicious driveway initiative! Reef (12) and Jett (10) Brookes set out to make a few extra dollars by selling mangos for a cracker price, of only 50c each!
Over the past couple of weekends, the pair have embarked on a pocket money mission, picking mangos from the creek beside their house, and setting up their spectacular stall, fully equipped with mum, Mel, and dad, Josh, cooking up a free sausage sizzle storm for each loyal customer, all made possible with the encouragement of a kind stranger.
A couple of weekends ago, a young man came across the Brookes family and shared his appreciation for their initiative, how lovely it was to see the boys doing what they’re doing, and his gratitude towards Mel and Josh for raising the boys with such values.
“He stopped, gave them a heartfelt speech, and gave them $50!” explained Mel.
“It was very sweet, and this inspired Reef and Jett to pick more mangos and give more away, and they were out the front most of the weekend, had a fair few donations and so many amazing conversations with our neighborhood, praising them for having a go!”
Once the pair reached what Mel described as a “ridiculous amount for two little boys”, they asked their parents if they could go and buy sausages and bread with the money, they had made to then give away to whoever wanted one the next day.
“They’ve even had a few friends from the neighborhood over on the weekend to help out, and of course, split the money,” added Mel.
“On Sunday we attempted to make green mango chutney with the mangos, and it wasn’t too bad at all!”
50c mangos and a free sausage sizzle, what could be better than that!
Brookes brothers Reef and Jett have been praised for their entrepreneurial efforts and kindness.
