The Pacheko family, consisting of Berenis and their three children, were on the brink of homelessness due to financial problems and mounting debts. Berenis lost his job and the family was forced to move into a barn with poor living conditions as they struggled to make ends meet and pay the expensive rent on their Los Angeles apartment. Aaron, Berenis’ 8-year-old son, has proven to be an unlikely hero in this perilous situation. Aaron joked with his mother about starting his own company so he could buy his own toys.
The concept was initially ignored by Berenis, but Aaron took it seriously. Aaron bought eight succulent plants from a nearby market with only $12 in savings and later sold them for a meager $4 profit.Aaron began selling his plants on Instagram as his earnings grew and quickly built a sizable following.
His story garnered national attention and a group of kind people even organized a GoFundMe auction to help the family. Thanks to the auction and his successful plant business, Aaron was able to earn $40,000 in just eight months. With that money, the Pacheko family bought a house on the outskirts of town. And as more people learned about Aaron’s entrepreneurial spirit, his business began to flourish.
Aaron has no plans to stop, though. He intends to buy a bigger house for his family one day and plans to continue to grow his business and save more money. Aaron’s persistence and hard work not only saved his family from starvation but also helped him become a role model for others.
