Fairfield Twp. 6-year-old helps his elementary school with a lemonade stand
When Cayden Cummings was back-to-school shopping last year with his mom, he overhead a parent tell her children they couldn’t afford some things.
And like any 5-year-old, he was filled with questions. Most of them started with “why.”
“It was hard for him to understand so we explained to him that not everybody is as fortunate, and some people really struggle to get common things, such as school supplies,” said Alanya Cummings, Cayden’s mom. “And he really took that to heart and wanted to help his peers.”

Paul Lolli, Middletown’s fire chief, was a lieutenant at the time. Brothers Jacob and Josh Lentz were elementary school students.

On this particular day, a photo was taken of Lolli sitting with the boys in the back of a medic unit.
