The 12-year-old is the second oldest out of six. His mother said he’s like the dad out of the bunch, and you can ask anybody about his work ethic.
“He’s just a hard worker and always going the extra mile to help,” Jackson said. “He wants to help his brother, sisters and himself get things for school,” Jackson said.“Anything I need, he just goes and gets it. He doesn’t even ask me, he just goes and gets it,” Jackson said. Adding, “Most kids around this area are into trouble and it just touches my heart that he’s gone away from all that. He really wants to help and do things the right way.”“He is very impressive and has come back a couple of times. He’s building a customer base,” Hudson said. “He is an asset to the community.”
